Painting on Tags (Gasp!)

OK so it's not really painting, but it's kind of painting!  Tracy must be laughing at me right now if she's reading this post.  She knows I avoid paint as much as possible.  Not sure why, but a paintbrush seems so awkward in my hands.

Luckily, I didn't have to use a paintbrush here!  Yay! 

This first tag used paint daubers.  Love it!  I thought the applicator would dispense too much paint onto my stamp, but it didn't.  I used gold paint on my Hero Arts script stamp and stamped it onto the tag.  Then laid some stain over it after it dried for a paint resist technique.  Holtz Sensei is such a genius I tell you!  Then I stamped the Hero Arts dandelion stamp using Archival Ink and finished the edges w/more Distress.

This next tag got a little busy.  I guess I felt the need to use up all that space!  This is the crackle resist technique, but I used the Rock Candy crackle paint instead of the regular Distress Crackle paints.  Since its clear, I distressed the tag first.  Don't know if you can tell, but I had some crackle difficulties on the lower part!  Oh well, gotta keep practicing I guess.  All stamps on this tag are by Hero Arts.

This last tag was done using the Shattered Stains Technique.  Tracy always talks about grunge board, so I ended up buying some since Holtz Sensei uses it in a lot of his projects.  This one was fun, but I wish I had more colors to play with!  Butterfly die is by SU and stamps used are by Hero Arts and Stampers Anonymous.

Here's a close up of the butterfly...

I think I have one more tag to share with you tomorrow.. See you soon!
