Mini Mission: Shelter

The prompt for this month's mini mission over on Mission Inspiration is Shelter.  As usual, I completed a tag for my tag journal.

I started by adding a piece of paper towel mop up sheet to a #8 manilla tag using Distress matte collage medium.  It was used to mop up Amsterdam acrylic inks from a previous project.  The layer was sealed, dried and trimmed.

Using the Swing Reverse stencil from Claritystamp, I inked Jet Black Archival ink through.

To emphasize the girl on the swing, I replaced the stencil once clean, used a clear embossing pen through the areas with the girl, swing and ropes and heat embossed in detail gold EP.

I went round all the outlines with a fine white Posca pen and extended the gold embossing so that the ropes go around the tree branch.

To finish,  I printed a quote onto clear plastic using my Dymo Letratag, trimmed each section and added them to the tag.
