Step 1: Use your Mini Blending Tool with Domed Foam to thinly spread some Turquoise around on your tags. No need to completely fill up the white space. Grungy is good.

Step 2: Blend some Evergreen Acrylic Paint through the Marks Stencils onto your tags, in a random pattern. It may be fun to switch up the design on each tag.

Step 3: Choose two profiles to stencil onto your tags with Black Gesso in the center of your tags. Grunge up the sides with your leftover paint with the Blending Tool to add dimension to the edges.

Step 5: Using the leaf stamp from the Not Subtle set, make several leaves to cut out. Spray the mounted stamp with a spritz of water. Color the stamp with the Evergreen Scribble Stick, and stamp onto cardstock. Allow to dry before cutting out. Grunge up the sides with your ink pad.

Step 6: Arrange the leaves around your profiles and the letters along the bottom. Glue down with Ultra Thick Gel Medium. Add some Ice Resin Sari Ribbon the the top of the tags. Optional: Here watered down Black Gesso was splattered onto the surface of the tag.  

 

 

 

Megan Whisner QuinlanHello! My name is Megan Whisner Quinlan. I have been art journaling and book binding for about 20 years. However I took a 10-year break from paper arts when I had my first 2 children. About 5 years ago, I came back into journaling after some big life changes, including 2 more children. Journaling had always been a part of my life, especially to work things out in life on paper. When I first started out, I really only focused on making books by hand and some basic collage and stamping. I was intimidated by the amazing art journalers out there who had elaborate mixed media spreads in their journals.  But when I came back to journaling after such a long break, I decided that I was going to really push myself to learn all the techniques I had been too afraid to try.  Painting and drawing have really allowed me to find so much joy in my creative process, and I now almost exclusively create mixed media every day. I feel excited to have joined the art journaling community and you can find me on Instagram @Megan_Whisner_Quinlan.
