Hello Tag

Happy Tuesday!

 For today's project I'm sharing with you my Hello Tag which features some dies and stamps from Charlene & Ilse's new Art Journal Specials Collection from Elizabeth Craft Designs as well as dies from the Planner Essentials Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my Hello Tag at home.

To start, die cut a small tag from the Planner Essentials 26 - Planner Pocket 3 - Tag & Toppers die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Magenta Nuance Aquamarine powder over the middle of the tag. Spritz the powder with water. Dry the colour. Place the hexagon portion of the Make Your Mark Stencil in the middle of the tag. Put Texture Paste Opaque Matte through the stencil as desired with a palette knife. Once the texture paste has dried, ink the edges of the tag using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Choose one of the reinforcements out of the Reinforcement Variety Pack. Die cut the reinforcement out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of the reinforcement using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Planner Essentials 26 - Planner Pocket 3 - Tag & Toppers, die cut the label out of kraft cardstock. Ink the edges of the label using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Budding Florals die, die cut the flower bulb out of kraft cardstock. Ink the edges of the bulb using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Blooming Branches die, die cut the heart branch out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

From the First Sights of Spring Stamp set, you'll need the flower stamp. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the flower stamp and stamp onto a piece of watercolour paper. Colour the flower image in using the Watercolor Palette and a waterbrush. Once the image has dried, fussy cut the image out.

From the Spring Fling Stamp set, choose one of the leaf stamps. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the leaf stamp and stamp onto a piece of watercolour paper. Colour the leaf image in using the Watercolor Palette and a waterbrush. Once the image has dried, fussy cut the image out.

Die cut the hello word from the Words 2 - Thinking of You die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

Adhere the reinforcement to the hole at the top of the tag. Adhere the flower bulb to the middle of the tag. Adhere the heart branch overtop of the flower bulb.

Adhere the leaf image as desired overtop of the heart branch. Foam square the flower image as desired overtop of the leaf image.

Adhere the hello word to the label. Foam square the label to the bottom of the tag as desired.

To finish the tag, tie a piece of twine through the top of the tag.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished tag.
