Today, I am up on the Unity blog with this Thanksgiving themed project.
These are some of the tags created for my Thanksgiving table favors this year.
These can be tied to treats, wine, baked goods and more. They can also be used as a bookmark.
A closer look at the tag. Each are a little different because of the watercolor and accents.
As a wine tag. The tags are great to have on hand for wine gifts.
The watercolor process for these tags:
1. Use lightest color first, then dry.
2. Add a darker layer, then dry.
3. Add an accent color, then dry.
4. With the watercolors you used, tap the wet brush to make the splatters, then dry.
5. Add white splatters and glitter glue to the leaves to accent even more, then dry.

These are beautiful! What ink did you use to stamp the leaves?
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) My go to ink pad for stamping and then watercolor painting is Ranger Archival Ink, Jet Black. :)
DeleteThank you for the quick reply. There are so many ink choices, it makes my head spin, lol. Your color scheme reminds me of one of my favorite paper lines, Indian Summer by Basic Grey.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful tags - you made it look easy - I wish I could pull this off! So beautiful Gaylynn! What white do you use for the spatter? Is it the watercolor white?
ReplyDeleteJeanne, I used the white included with the Sakura Koi watercolor set. The key is to wait for the other layers to dry completely before the white is added, otherwise is blends in too much. And thanks so much. :)
DeleteI vote for wine tags!!! Thanks for joining us at Tag You're It Challenge, can't wait for fall.
