Mixed Media Tag Thank you / Thanksgiving

Meihsia Liu Simply Paper Crafts Mixed Media Tag Thank You Fall Thanksgiving Simon Says Stamp Tim Holtz 1

Hi, my talented crafty friends, it's time for the new challenge. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, our theme is "Thanks/Thanksgiving"As we are celebrating Thanksgiving here in the US on November 22nd we thought it would be nice to have a challenge dedicated to being thankful!

I was inspired to created a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix Celebration Words Script Thinlits Die for the sentiment, and Fall Foliage Thinlits Die to decorate the tag.

I started this project with applying various colors of Distress Paints on the background of this size 8 tag.  On the edges I applied dark shade to distress the tag. The leaves and hearts were die cut and colored using Distress paints, too. I outlined these embellishments with Faber Castell black pen. The hearts and the background of the tag were stamped with some text prints.

I die cut the sentiment "thank you" using Sizzix Celebration Thinlits Die and pasted it on the tag using Tombow Glue. The key hole, hardware and clip were colored using Distress Paints. All the embellishments were attached on the tag using Tombow Glue. I splattered some white paint as the final touch.

This is especially gorgeous! I particularly love the way you added the white splatters to the background to finish it off. How did you splatter it? Is there a certain tool you prefer for splattering?
