Instructions:

1. Stamp images on manila tag with Versamark ink pad and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
2. Spray desired colors of Adirondack color wash over the embossed tag.

TIP: Both the Adirondack Color Wash and Tattered Angels sprays blend well with each other because they are water-based. However, notice that the Adirondack Color Wash is very vibrant whereas the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist is more translucent. (Note: The ‘Color Catcher’ box (sold at OMC) is an easy way to keep the sprays contained in one area)

3. Blend the colors by misting water over the wet tag.

TIP: Tim Holtz Ranger Mini Mister filled with water is a great tool to have on hand for this project.

4. Finish by adding any embellishments such as metal corners, bows, pleats, or buttons.

 
Happy crafting!
