Supplies needed: Ranger Craft tag 8# - Gesso -
Archival jet black - Clear embossing powder -
Flourish stamp - Text stamp - Calender stamp -
sentiment stamp or rubons - sandpaper -
brushes - ink blending tool -
Distress ink: Bundle Sage, Victorian Velvet,

and your Hot glue gun.
First we take our tag and flourish stamp.
Ink your stamp with Archival jet black and
stamp your image in the bottom right corner.
Cover your stamped image with clear embossing powder
( you have to work quickly since Archival is quick drying)
and heat set it.
It should look as shiny as in the picture.
Take a small amount of Gesso and put it
on your craft sheet.
Water it down a little, till it looks like youghurt.
Cover your entire tag with the watered down gesso.
if it leaves some texture, please let it. It gives
it only more charm. heat dry it, and let it cool.
Get your sand paper out, and sand over the stamped
image. Don't sand it all the way through.
Tear a corner off of a paper towel and use it
to positioning your text.
Stamp with your text stamp over it, using Archival.
It should look something like this.
Use your Bundle Sage Distress ink, to color the bottom right corner.
Use your Victorian Velvet and color the top and left side of your tag.
It should look something like this.
Distress your edges with a edge distresser of scissors.
Ink your edges with Frayed Burlap Distress ink.
It should look something like this.
Get a small amount of Diamond Stickles on your tag
and spread it out over your tag.
It looks something like this.
Get 3 butterflies out. You can use punched out butterflies or
like I did... 3 lasercut butterflies. Ink them up.
looks something like this.
Get 2 small amounts of white Puffy Paint and mix
one with Victorian Velvet and one with Bundle Sage or Peeled Paint distress ink.
Pounch it onto the butterflies with either your finger or a flat brush.
Heatset it. The puffy paint will start to puff.
They will look something like this.
