Mixed Media Tag Card using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 2 OF 3)

August 9, 2023 August 18, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, General, Mixed Media, Travel No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s video is Part 2 of a three part series using the wonderful Ai Scenic Foundations stamp sets….but we are going to be doing them in a completely different way! I want to show you how to change up the way that you use your images or the way the were intended to be used! Also, if you are a bit intimidated by the watercolor stamping techniques this three part series will give you some fun alternatives!

Today we will be creating this mixed media tag card using the Ai Scenic Foundations Village Set (5746)! As soon as I saw this image I knew it had to be used as a travel or adventure style card. My stamping friends and I always say that the stamps speak to us and tell us what to do…lol!

In Part 1, we will use the SF Beach Cabin Set (5749) to create a beautiful background using some masking tape and the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. This is a simple and easy way to set the scene for our Scenic Foundations stamps. If you haven’t seen Part 1 yet, and you would like to, it is linked here:

And in Part 3, we will be creating a set of note cards by stenciling a pretty sunburst background with a vellum overlay by using the remaining four sets from the Summer of 2023 release!

We will be using all of the Scenic Foundations in the three part series…so for a 15% savings you may be interested in the entire collection bundle deal listed and linked here:

For today’s card we will start by die cutting a tag from the Scrapbook.com Yay Tag Set. Next we can stamp this beautiful scene onto the tag.

For the coloring we will be using the Tim Holtz Mini Dye Ink Pads in the following colors: Crushed Olive, Fossilized Amber, Rusty Hinge, Gathered Twigs, Black Soot, Aged Mahogany, Crackling Campfire Speckled Egg, Weathered Wood, Stormy Sky, and Rustic Wilderness.

We will be applying a small amount of each of these colors on to our glass media mat and picking up the colors using a #0 paint brush. Keep in mind that we want to give the images a rustic or vintage look….so we don’t want the coloring to be perfect! This combination of colors will be perfect for this aged/vintage affect.

Next we will add a bit of color around the edges of the tag using TH Gathered Twigs and Black Soot. Then let’s spatter the tag using the TH Gathered Twigs ink.

Now we can emboss background for the card using the TH Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades in the Cracked Leather….love this embossing folder! We will add some more ink to this background and spatter it as well.

To create even more texture and interest let’s take a piece of corrugated cardboard and tear the top edge and add some ink.

For some shine we will be adding the TH Distress Embossing Glaze in Fired Brick to the corrugated cardboard and the bottom of the tag! This powder is so great because it is translucent and allows the colors and images to show through!

We will also add a lovely TH Quote Chip which says “Travel the world to find the beautiful” and we will also add another sentiment which says “Adventure Awaits” from the TH Metallic Stickers.

Let’s add a few gems in a vintage looking matte gold color!

Keep an eye out for Part 3 next Wednesday!
