Pop it up - Layered tag

Hi everyone,

Today I would like to share with you a tag. The stamp is a digi stamp by the very talented Ppinky Dolls. This tag was made for the Southern Girls Challenge Blog.


I began by printing the image out 3 times. I then had to decide which elements were going to be on each level. I then coloured the areas starting from the base and working up. For this project I used copic markers.


As you can see I colour test colour combinations on the side of my paper,  and I labeled the pictures with the layers so I didn't get confused. I always do the top layer for each area in the most detail.




Next I fussy cut all the layers.


Once this was done, I used adhesive foam to place the pieces together. For the tiny leaves and heart flowers I used a tiny bit of 3D matte gel as it would be impossible to cut the foam that small.



Once the image was put together it was time to start on the tag. I used a pre-printed tag from Prima, then die cut some trees using the Tim Holtz thinlits die - Woodlands.

I then chose some flowers out of my stash that complemented the colours in the picture, and moved them around until I was happy with the way they looked. I stuck these down with Prima 3D matte gel, which is my favourite for gluing down bulky items because when it dries it is flexible, so won't crack and fall off.


To finish off I inked the tag in distress ink, and added some ribbons and some 'now and then' word stickers from MME which I inked with black pen.

  

Please see below for a list of products used. I hope you enjoyed this post.... if so feel free to leave me a message :)

Till next time.
