Instructions:
1. Cut a piece of white cardstock 13cm x
19.5cm and distress the edges and ink with brown pigment ink.
2. Cut a rectangle 11.5cm x 18cm of French
Rulers paper and round and ink the edges, with brown pigment ink.
3. Stick down this French Rulers rectangle
onto the cardstock, ensuring that you use lengths of double sided tape, to
cover the entire surface, so that there are no gaps in the tape. (This helps to
prevent warping of the paper when you use gesso and water).
4. Place the stencil over the entire tag
and secure with small bits of sticky tape. Use an old credit card or spatula to spoon and smooth
some gesso over the entire tag. Remove your stencil and allow the gesso to dry
completely.
5. Using your spray bottle, spray liberal
amounts of water over your gesso areas.
Add little drops of pink acrylic paint onto these wet areas. Now spritz more water into these little
drops of paint, so that it starts to run.
Pick up your tag and move the paint and water around, so that it runs in
between your gesso stencilled area. See photo below. Allow this to dry
completely. See figure 1.
