Mixed Media ATC Resist Stay Strong

Meihsia Liu Simply Paper Crafts Mixed Media ATC Resist Tim Holtz Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

Hello, my lovely friends, welcome back for the new challenge! Our theme this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is "Resist It" - simply create something using resist technique. 

 I created a mixed media ATC using resist techniques to make the background patterns with Tim Holtz Oxide Reinkers and Ranger Clear Embossing Powder.

To start this project, I cut this artist trading card from a piece of watercolor paper in 2.5" X 3.5" using a paper trimmer. The modeling paste was applied on the background with a palette knife to create the texture. 

I applied various shades of Tim Holtz Distress Paints that coordinated with the color scheme of the bird and flower embellishments that I'd use on the ATC.  

To use the resist technique, I stamped the dots image using Stampers Bubble Dots stamp and Simon Says Stamp Ink pad randomly on the background of the ATC, and embossed it using clear embossing powder and a heat tool. Then I applied Distress Oxide Reinker over the embossed area with a brush pen.

The flower, butterfly and bird embellishments were outlined using a black Faber Castell Big Pitt Brush Pen,  and pasted on the ATC using Tombow Adhesive Tabs.

The clip was colored using Distress Paints and added on the ATC.

I distressed the edges of the tag using a Pitt brush pen and added some sentiments from Idea-Ology Big Chat stickers. 

I really had fun using the resist technique to create the background colors and texture on this ATC. I hope this project inspired you to create and join us this week. Can't wait to see what you make!

Hello, my talented crafty friends, welcome back for the new challenge. This week our theme at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is "Tag It" - simply create a tag or something with a tag attached. 

I was inspired to create a mixed media tag with her girl illustration using Sakura Pigma Professional Brush Pen and colored it with Sakura Koi Watercolors Sketchbox.

I started this project with applying the modeling paste on this size 8 tag. After it was dry, I colored the tag using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons with various shades on the tag. I blended the colors with fingers and then applied the crackle paint on it to create the texture.  

The background was stamped some sentiments using Tim Holtz Life Quote Rubber Stamp and Simon Says Black Ink Pad, and heat embossed using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder and a heat tool.

On a piece of watercolor paper, I drew the girl portrait and a flower using black Sakura Pigma Brush Pen and colored it with Sakura watercolors. The illustration was cut and pasted on the tag using Tombow Adhesive tabs on the tag. The Big Chat stickers were attached on the illustration.

As the final touch, I added some star sequins randomly on the background of the tag. I really love the Pigma waterproof brush pen and the beautiful vibrant colors of Sakura watercolors. I hope this tag inspired you to create "TAG IT" and join us this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
