Simply Paper Crafts: Mixed Media Tag AALL & Create Birthday Celebration

Hello, my talented crafty friends, welcome back to the new challenge. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge we are challenging you to join us for our 11th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION! Can you believe that this challenge has been going for 11 years!! As it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company - AALL & Create. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

As it is a special celebration the lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously increased the prize to a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the Simon Says Stamp Store. This week we are welcoming the back the lovely Anne Redfern aka Redanne into the Designer Spotlight. Please make sure to visit her blog for all her awesome creations!

I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using AALL & Veggies A4 Clear Stamp on the tag, and decorated the image with Ranger Mini Glossy Accents Glue Adhesive and added sentiments with Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Sentiment Label Stickers.

To start this project, I trimmed the paper from Tim Holtz Backdrop Paper and pasted it on the size 8 tag. The tag was distressed with a distress tool then using a blending tool and Distress Ink Pads I also used a black pen to outline the edges of the tag.

I stamped the image on the tag using the clear stamp from AALL & Create Veggies Clear Stamps and the black ink pad. The image was colored using watercolors and a brush. I added a layer of Glossy Accents on the image to create the glossy effect on the veggie. I attached the metal clip and a token that were colored with Distress Paints on the tag. To finish off this project, I adhered two birthday label stickers on the tag.

Hope you like my creation and join us to celebrate our 11th birthday. Happy crafting!
