We used a few new things that I was so glad my students just loved. I cut the bricks out of scraps from a Tim Holtz strip die, to use as a stencil. Then we used Golden Light Molding Paste mixed with some acrylic paint the color of bricks. The spread it over the stencil, thickly. The results were just what I was looking for to give this tag dome dimension. A faux brick wall was the perfect background for the new Lantern die-cut. On the Raven tag I used chunky glitter, which gave the bird an interesting reflective quality. Every year for Halloween I try to do a tag in tribute to Mr. Poe.
On the third tag, We used a Layered stencil of Tim's (Shattered), and Viva Decor Mother of Pearl paint. I love the shimmer this line of paints gives off. I mixed the mother of pearl with some distress paint (picket fence) on a craft sheet, and used the stencil as a stamp by rubbing the stencil into the paint and then placing it onto the tag. I needed to rub over the stencil with a finger to make sure the stencil laid down flat to apply the image.
Overall I loved the way these tags turned out. I think the students loved the brick wall best. This class was taught exclusively to my Woodstock students.
Fall tags are next!
Till then
