Nature – A Tag Book Cover by Lynne Moncrieff

11:00


The project I am sharing this week is the front cover of a nature themed tag book which has been published in Somerset Studio.  Stampington kindly allow artwork, published in their magazines, to be shown on blogs, social media, etc (they do draw the line at the same artwork being featured in another magazine including digi magazines). The cover of the nature themed tag book is only partially seen in the article.

The MDF tag forms a front cover (with another for the rear) of a tag book with an organic, nature theme throughout.








Supplies


Extras:  Calico, Silk Sari Ribbon, Under Paper


Instructions


After applying Gesso to MDF Tag, randomly apply Grunge Paste, only small areas, here and there. Once dry, sprinkle Infusions, focusing on top area of tag, misting with water.  Tip the tag, allowing colour to drip downwards. Leave to dry.






At the same time as staining the tag with Infusions, use excess drip off colour to stain a piece of calico. Scrunch the calico to provide an organic appearance once dry. 

Onto under paper (always ensure under paper is completely dry before using as a stamping surface unless you want to use damp paper top achieve diffused stamped effects), stamp moth and Kasia Avery’s unique marking stamps. Tear around images.  Adhere to tag, layering moth with some strands unraveled from the torn, stained calico.  Adhere the MDF waste from hole in tag onto stamped panel with the moth. 






To complete a book, layer the prepared MDF tag on top of all tags, threading a bundle of Infusions stained re-cycled silk sari ribbon through the holes in all tags. Wrap the tag book with the Infusions stained calico, tying closed with a length of calico, torn from the calico panel. 






Until next week,

Wishes
Lynne
