Instructions 

Let's make some beary beautiful tags using the new Clear Gloss as a resist. We'll then add the tags to our journal, to create a bear-tastic page!

Step 1: Grab some tags and your favorite stencil and lay the stencil over the tags. Spray Clear Gloss through the stencil onto the tag, then grab another tag to make an imprint of the stencil with the leftover gloss. 

 Step 2: Paint, spray, and drip on the tags with different colors of glosses and watered-down acrylics. Spray them with water for some extra flowy-ness. 

Step 3: Stamp some bears onto cardstock with Jet Black Archival Ink, then cut them out. 

Step 4: Decorate the bears using Scribble Sticks. The new Scribble Stick set is perfect for this with the addition of Syrup and Cocoa. Use a small paintbrush to add water and spread the colors. 

Step 5: Once your tags have dried, add some stamping to the background using the new Squared Up stamp set. Next, layer collage tissue and your bears, creating focal points on the tags. 

Step 6: Add some stenciling and stamping to a page in your journal. Next, add the tags to the page, and finish it off with some gloss splatters.
