Hi it\u2019s Sara Ferret here with a colourful mixed media tag tutorial using the Big Triangles<\/a> stencil and stamps from Pencil Marks 7<\/a> and Mixed Media Marks 1<\/a>. I will show many different ways to use a stamp and also an alternative use for a stencil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First of all I\u2019m going to make a resit in the background with a white wax crayon and the stencil I selected. When I use the watercolor on top of the crayon, the wax resits the color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After drying the wet background, I\u2019m stamping some images from Mixed Media Marks 1<\/a> with different kind of inks and I\u2019m also using a wet watercolor crayon (Stabilo Woody) to add color in the stamp and stamp it in the background, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After that, I took the stencil again, but I\u2019m using it in a different way. I’m taking a pink wooden color to draw the silhouette from the triangles, and I\u2019m taking the orange watercolor crayon again, and this time I use it to color a little bit inside of each of the triangles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we have a full background, but we need to create a focal point. I\u2019m using the same technique as before, adding water to the black Woody pencil and use it to ink up the stamp. If you don’t have Woodys you can use Neocolor II or Scribble Sticks as well. I’ve picked one of the botanical from Pencil Marks 7<\/a>. This way our stamped image becomes a little bit undefined, and creates a hand drawn effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cut all these shapes out, so I have the ones I need for this project, and I also some extra elements done, for future creations. I\u2019m going to create other extra elements to have extra layers on our tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m using one of the flower stamps from Pencil Marks 7<\/a> . This time I’m using the neon watercolors, to achieve more or less the same effect as before, but I have no neon pink Woody. When I have the flower stamped, I\u2019m painting the inside of the flower with the neon watercolors, and I\u2019m adding some splatters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last thing I\u2019m creating are some circles, also with this technique. When they are dry, I\u2019m doodling around the shapes with thin black pen. After that I\u2019m cutting all the shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end I need to create the composition with all this elements I created before, plus I\u2019m adding some sari ribbon and also a sentiment sticker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
