Wendy Silver shares a technique for adding textured metallic accent tags to your page. Materials:
light brown, tan and dark brown cardstock
2 paper tags (one larger than the other)
background paper of choice
copper ScrapMetal
sunflower design stamp
stickers
blue button
hammer
wooden stylus
string or fiber
Steps:
- To create the sunflower tag, first stamp the back surface of the ScrapMetal using the sunflower stamp.
- After stamping, emboss the pattern using a wooden stylus.
- Next, create a textured tag by using a tag as a template. Trace around paper tag onto ScrapMetal. Cut metal tag from ScrapMetal sheet.
- Once tag is cut, flip over so that back surface is exposed. Use hammer to randomly texturize the tag.
- After hammering, flip tag and mount smaller paper tag on top. Tie string through both to fasten together. Cut square from patterned paper and layer on top. Embellish with sticks.
- To complete the page, mount photos on brown cardstock and use printed paper blocks as desired. Mount sunflower tag to brown cardstock and adhere to lower left corner of page.
- Complete page as desired.
