PaperPlay Challenge - Week 16 - Flying High

This weeks Challenge was set by Jackie

The challenge is to use Wings on your project, Birds, butterflies, fairies whatever you like as long as it has wings.

This week I did a tag for my challenge entry.

How I did it:
I distressed the background with Fired Brick, Antique Linen and Broken China distress inks and stamped the swirls using Brushed Cordoroy and then brushed some Rust Perfect Pearls across it before it dried fully. I used crackle paint on the wings and heart and used a heat gun to both dry it faster, and to curl the wings up. I glued the wings onto the tag and then the heart onto the wings. I'm not sure what brand the sentiment is as it was sent to me by my dear friend Dee Dee. When everything was just about dry I spritzed the whole tag with copper Glimmer Mist and again used the heat gun to dry it off.

Tag ingredients: (all linked items are available at Pez-A-Doodle Designs)
Tim Holtz - Grungeboard Wings & Heart, Crackle Paint,- Fired Brick, Old Paper Distress Stickles - Fired Brick, Distress Inks - Fired Brick, Antique Linen & Broken China
Swirl Stamps -
Inkadinkadoo
Perfect Pearls - Rust
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Copper.


Once I had that one finished I did another -


This time I applied a TH Mask and distressed the tag using Faded Jeans, then I removed the mask and applied Fired Brick. I spritzed the whole tag using glimmer mist. Then I distressed the edges of my patterned paper and glued it to the bottom of the tag.. then added a little bit of ribbon, a button and a tiny tag onto which I stamped a cute bird from the Inkadinkadoo Flourishes.
