Liquid Metals and Caribbean Brights Tag

Dunja Dücker from the creative team has made this great tag using the new Caribbean Brights and Liquid Metals Color Burst, love how bright and vibrant these new colors are, you are going to love them too.

Dunja says:

For my TAG I colored a tissue. First, I moistened it and then applied the color burst powder. The effect is simply amazing. Then I dried it with the heat gun and put the individual layers carefully spread apart. The middle layer is colored somewhat paler, but it does not matter ;) Then I put some gel medium to the TAG and glued a layer of the tissue. The gel dries transparent.

Also brand new products by Ken Oliver Crafts are the Liquid Metals. I've brushed the edges with Liquid Metals Yellow Gold and the rest of TAG in Verdi Gris (a green with gold reflexes). The glimmer really comes to the fore when everything is dry. In addition I have also used the heat gun. 

The text I have made with my Dymo Labeler and glued them on white card stock. After that I glued the elements on the TAG and decorated with a little heart and a glittered &. On the cords I have attached small beads. 

Trust Your Strength Tag

Creative Team member Zoey Scarpelli has taken tags to a whole new level with Color Burst,  see how she has created this work of art on her blog here.

Hello Everyone! I'm Zoey and I am super excited to share with you my first projects as Creative Team for Ken Oliver!

I created this colorful tag and I had so much fun playing with the color burst!

The star is from the Ken Oliver Studio Set 1 and guess what I used to stamp it? Yes, you guessed it right... I used Color Burst! I used Alizarin Crimson and Yellow Ocher.

I have to admit that I had to try this technique few times before getting the perfect stamp because I was adding too much water - this one you see in the tag is a second generation stamp and I am truly impressed how the result is vivid!

The background of my tag is covered with tissue paper, gesso and then colored with Ultramarine Blue Color Burst. I added strips of drywall tape and covered with some more gesso before blending the Terre Verte Color Burst with the background. 

I completed the background with some more stamping, sewing machine stitch  and other little details to create some more interest!

Before assemble everything together I cut a piece of vellum and colored it with Alizarin Crimson Color Burst and I love how the transparency of the Vellum still "mix" with the background creating a fantastic Violet-blueish shade!

Stay Happy Stay Creative, till next time!
