Instructions 

Whenever autumn rolls around in our family it means it’s time to go camping, so when I think of the forest, it makes me think of fall. This stamp set and collage tissue is perfect for making fall inspired tags and quick journal pages inspired by the forest!

Step 1: Stamp the new Fawns stamp set onto ledger papers or book pages using Archival Black Ink and fussy cut the images.

Step 2: Using a mini-blending tool and white gesso, add some stenciling to various sizes of square tags.

Step 3: Once the gesso is dry, spray and drip Glosses onto the tags. Notice how the gloss reacts on the Gesso. The effect is so cool!

Step 4: While the tags are drying, add some color to the stamped images using Scribble Sticks and water. 

Step 5: Use The Forest tissue paper and stamped images to decorate the tags. Add your imagery with Gel Medium or Ultra Thick Gel Medium. Add phrases and Gloss splatters to finish off the tags. 

Step 6: Meanwhile, in the Small Kraft Journal, add some stenciling to a few pages with acrylic paint and a mini blending tool.

Step 7:  Add the tags and more collage tissue to the journal pages using a tiny attacher or stapler.
