Mother's Day Tag

I am delighted to be sharing my first design team make and blogged tutorial using their brand new florals release. The theme for our makes this week is "for Mum" and my brief was to make something "other than a card". I chose to make a tag for Mother's day using the beautiful new Precious life stamp set. I also used the Mother's day sentiment from the existing Golden Daffodils stamp set.

Tutorial

This is the tag I made.

Here is how I made it; I die cut a tag using super smooth 300gsm white card.

I stamped the flower from Precious life and sentiment from Golden daffodils using black Versafine and clear heat embossed them.

I used this palette of distress inks.

and picked the inks up with a paintbrush and a little water to paint the flower.

Once painted I added some micro glaze to the main part of the flower and leaves to seal them.

I then pressed each of the distress inks onto my media mat, spritzed on some water and then tapped in the tag to pick up the inks. I did this in layers, drying with just a heat tool NOT an embossing gun between layers. Too much heat will melt the embossing.

Using the accessory stamps in the Precious life set I then stamped the rest of my design. I used green and yellow Versafine inks.

To finish off I backed the tag onto black card, added some of my signature sequins and a green check ribbon to give a real spring feel.

This tag is perfect for attaching to a bunch of flower or any present you might be treating your Mum to on Mother's day. If you use a different sentiment it would also work well with any spring gift.
