For this week’s tag tutorial, I’m combining collage elements with a simple watercolor technique to create a beautiful tonal background. The layered colors blend together to form a soft and artistic backdrop that sets the stage for the rest of the design. While I added a few additional elements to complete the tag, the background is truly the star of the project. Its rich color variations and subtle texture make it a versatile technique that can be adapted to many different paper crafting projects.
After applying the watercolor over the collage, the resulting color was absolutely stunning. Rather than letting any of the excess watercolor go to waste, I pressed another piece of cardstock into the remaining pigment to lift the color. The unexpected print was so beautiful that I decided to use it as part of the tag as well. It’s a great reminder that some of the best creative moments happen by accident, and a simple technique can often yield more than one usable background.
The sticker I used came for the following post: https://tryit-likeit.com/sticker-paper-and-sticker-printable/
