My first mixed media tag

This year, I have been intrigued by the monthly tag challenges at the Swirlydoos forum. I've been trying each month to participate. Well for the month of March 15-April 15 we were challenge to create a mixed media tag. Since I was inspired by the green Prima PPP color challenge this month. I used that color scheme for my tag.





In this tag, I have layers of textures which include tim holtz music tissue paper and gel medium as the base. I added Prima clear gesso and cheesecloth over the chipboard pieces and tag. I glued my prima wood embellies, flowers, and resin before adding color. I used a mixture of different mediums but my main color was the Prima soft teal color bloom. After my tag dried, I decided to add another prima fairy resin, glass beads and flowers. 

I actually enjoyed creating all the texture techniques on this tag.
