Today I thought I would share a tag I have made with Andy's new Rice Papers, and fab Strata Paste.
I started with the Vintage pack of papers, and took the wood effect paper and glued to an mdf tag with matt medium. On top of that I took a piece with a vintage lable on, and wet the edges to tear the paper easily. This was glued on top of the first.
I gave the tag a wash of very watered down Raw Umber paint, to blend the colours of the rice papers better, and then added a little quinacridone gold in a wash. It just toned it all down.
With a palette knife, I added Strata Paste roughly around the edges of the tag, more in some places than others. This was then given a wash of Raw Umber, and some Quinacridone Gold in places.
The mdf butterfly and scroll were first painted in neat Raw Umber, then I used the new Stonewash Stamp to give the background some detail. Over that I painted Quinacridone Gold to add the rust effect. The top layer of the butterfly was also given the rust treatment.
A piece of wire was threaded through the Tag, and curled round a paintbrush on each side to finish.
