Shabby Chic Tag Tutorial

Hello friends! Today I have a tag to share with a fun background and lots of pink.

We have a Feminine theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog this week. I hope you will join us! Don't miss the stunning project by our March guest designer Deborah Emmons aka designingdiva_73. 

I didn't use pink for a while and created a shabby chic tag with lots of pink and a fun background created with design tape.

Start by covering the whole background with Tim Holtz Design Tape. I applied a layer of matte medium to the tag first, to make sure the tape stuck down well. I used Butterfly, Rose and Vintage tape.

Apply some white paint to the tag.

Apply Worn Lipstick Distress Crayon through some of the circles on Simon Says Stamp Mix and Match Circles stencil.

Add more white paint and apply Sizzix Gold Luster Wax around the edges of the tag.

Die cut Tim Holtz Perspective Butterfly from Heavystock paper. Stamp and white emboss the wings with Simon Says Stamp Stained Glass Background.

Ink with Distress Ink. I only inked one side since I wasn't going to use the whole butterfly.

I got some vintage buttons in a second hand shop this weekend, since I was running short on white and pearl buttons. Three of them were tied to the background.

The Stained Glass background gives nice texture to the butterfly wings.

The labels were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Mixed Labels and pink ink, while the sentiments were stamped with brown ink. This one comes from Laugh In Flowers.

Here you can see the shine from the luster wax better.
