Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!
Hi there, Riet here with a tutorial for you.
I love making my own backgrounds.
I really enjoy starting with a blank piece of paper and making something out of it.
By using different techniques, the result is always something different.
And that is what makes it so interesting.
For today, it is the tissue paper technique.
Its an older technique but with interesting results.
It is a tag for the men's challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda Stamps.
Make something with a man on it, or something for a man.
And this is how I made the tag.
What I used.
3 colors of Glimmermist,I used
Lindy's moon glows,
Cajun carnelean red and Gator gumbo olive.
and Tattered Angels Sapphire.
Inka gold, gold.
memento Rich cocoa.
Distressink old paper.
Distress oxide ground espresso.
Dutch Doobadoo modeling paste.
Dutch Doobadoo glue.
How its made:
Take a piece of tissue paper and make a ball out of it.
Take a piece of sturdy, thick paper and spread glue on it.
Place the tissue paper on top and press down gently.
Make sure you do not press the creases out.
Let it dry thoroughly.
Cut away the overhanging paper.
While it dries, we continue with the Learnardo collage.
We sponge the men with Distress Ink Old Paper.
Cut him out and do the same with the edges using Distress Oxide Ground Espresso.
Once the glue and the tissue paper are completely dry,
we are going to spray it with the glimmermist.
The mica powder in the bottles gives a beautiful golden sheen.
Now take a piece of white paper and sponge it with Distress Ink Old Paper.
Take the small text stamp from the Pieces of Calligraphy set
and stamp with the Memento Rich Cocoa.
And stamp the words from the Misc words sheet over it.
Outline the edges with the Distress Oxide Ground Espresso; do the same for the tag.
After you have determined where your pieces of stamped paper will go,
you can apply modeling paste to part of the tag using a stencil.
Now you are going to stick on the man and the text pieces.
The man flat, but the other 3 pieces with foam tape.
Take a piece of rope and color it.
Thread it through the eye of the tag.
And that concludes the tag; hope you enjoyed it.
