Mixed Media Tag Spring Gina K Foiled



Hello! Happy Fools' Day! My friends, so glad you are back. As this is April Fools Day we thought we would have some fun with a play on words! This week Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge our theme is "Don’t Be Fooled Be Foiled!There are so many techniques that we can use to apply foil to our creations!

As it is the first week of the month we are showcasing a particular company and this week we are all using some fabulous Gina K Designs ProductsThis week we are welcoming the super talented Sabrina aka It’s Time To Create-My Mixed Media Corner. Please go to her blog and check all her awesome projects!

I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Translucent Alcohol Ink Yupo Paper on the background and decorated it with Thermo Web Gina K Design Sweet Mango Fancy Foils and Sizzix Geo Springtime Thinlits Die. To start this project, I first applied Alcohol Inks on the Yupo Paper with different colors. While the alcohol inks were still sticky I applied the foil on the Yupo paper.  The colored Yupo paper was adhered on the tag using Double Side tape. 


To create the butterfly, on a piece of heavy white card stock, I pasted the double side tape then applied the foil. I die cut the butterfly with this foiled paper, then pasted the die cut butterfly on another piece of already colored Yupo paper using Tombow Mono Glue. I cut the Yupo paper with the butterfly die on it. 


To make the foiled leaves, I also using the double side tape on a piece of heavy card stock and applied the foil on it. I die cut the foiled paper using the leave die and Big Shot. 


Some Prima Flowers were adhered on the tag with the butterfly and leaves using Prima Heavy Gel. The tag was distressed with Distress Paint. I added the sentiment using Tim Holtz Stickers. For the final touch, I splattered some Gesso and water mixture randomly on the tag.

I really enjoyed creating this project using Gina K Fancy Foils since they are just so fun and beautiful. Hope you got inspired and join us for this week's challenge. Happy crafting!
