For this feature on the PaperArtsy Blog 3 identical items are sent to 3 members of the PaperArtsy Blogging team. Typically we will receive a stamp, a stencil and a couple of Fresco Paints.
We have no clue what PaperArtsy HQ is going to send, the whole idea of this challenge is to do something crafty in our personal style with these 3 items. We can incorporate other PA products into the mix if we feel it is necessary.
This time I received a lovely Kate Crane stamp set (KC014) and stencil (PS441) along with Fresco Chalk Acrylics - Beach Hut (FF43) and Metallic Glaze (FF24).
You can see below I also added Infusions Dye in A Bit Jaded (CS02), some archival and distress ink, along with Fresco Chalk Acrylic in Chalk (FF83).
Today I have made some tags using various techniques to build the layers and the metallic glaze for some sparkle and shine.
I began with the tags - adding layers of splattered paint from my craft sheet.
To do this I added a small amount colour to my craft mat and spritzed with water. I move it around a little with an old credit card.
I started with Beach Hut and dried it. I then added a Beach Hut, Chalk and Metallic Glaze mix. This has created a very subtle sparkle in places.
Finally I added a layer of Chalk and once dry repeated with Ranger Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.
Next for the central panels.
I added some Infusions Dye to the stencil and spritzed with water, before laying a piece of PaperArtsy Tissue Paper (blank) over to absorb the colour.
The first print was very dark and there was still colour left on the stencil, so I spritzed twice more resulting in 3 prints of different colour intensity.
I used the second print for my panels. Once the tissue was completely dry I adhered to some pre cut card using the Metallic Glaze.
Not a great photo, but hopefully you can see the shine where the Metallic Glaze, both under and on top of the tissue, creates a lustrous effect.
I used the little branch from Kate Crane stamp set KC014 to create a matt layer and the small butterfly to decorate the tags.
For a little extra shine I added Metallic Glaze using a ball tool (the end of a paintbrush also works).
I added some words from the stamp set along with some die cuts and cheesecloth.
Thanks for your visit, I hope you enjoyed it.

This looks really good! I love the colors and you did a fabulous job explaining the steps!
What a lovely effect you created, I like the different layers and especially how you used the branch stamp. I might have to have a go at that!
