As I have been making samples with the Fibralo pens, I have been using paper towels to mop up and to wipe off my brushes, this has resulted in very pretty towels, once dried.
I took one and glued it to a large tag, using matte glaze. This turned out brilliantly, and resulted in a cross between fabric and card.
I started to add some grunge paste through a Lin Brown stencil. ELB PS002
I also added grunge paste around the edge.
I then used washes of Fibralo ink and a brayer to colour some smoothy card.
I coloured the grunge paste and the border with fibralo pens and water. I then used Lins stencils to create flowers on the smoothy card. I cut these out and stamped over them with some of Lin's stamps, before layering them up and securing with a brad.
Finally adding the title from ELB06 and rubbing treasure gold onto the grunge paste border.
Finished tag..
The pens are available from PaperArtsy HERE..

ReplyDeleteFabulous tag. Love the recycled paper towel. What a great start.
ReplyDeleteOh wow this is a awesome tag, I took your advice and bought them lol. My tag on sunday was my first time using them. I cant believe I only had to use 4 pens to get such gorgeous tones of colour by just adding water. I can't wait to keep playing with them :-) Kezzy xxx
