This cute tag was a quick and easy make. I started with a sheet of tissue paper that I had sent through my inkjet printer, added a sentiment and ribbon, a few marks, and it was done.
Printing on tissue paper creates such a look that works beautifully for tag making and mixed media projects. The lightweight texture adds visual interest while still allowing the background layers to peek through. I love how something so simple can look artistic and layered with very little effort.
After attaching the printed tissue paper to the tag base, I added a sentiment to create a focal point. A few hand-drawn marks and details helped give the tag a finished mixed media feel without overworking the design. Sometimes the simplest projects end up being the most satisfying.
To finish the tag, I added ribbon for texture and dimension. This project came together quickly, making it a great creative idea when you want to make something pretty without spending hours crafting.
Using Mod Podge made the project quick and easy when it came time to layer all the parts together, and it was fun using my finger for the application. Sometimes you just need to get dirty! The finger application helped create a soft, uneven texture that worked perfectly with the delicate tissue paper and added to the handmade mixed media feel of the tag.
