This week’s tag tutorial features a mix of different mediums layered together to create both visual and tactile texture. While the color palette is coordinated and inspired by the printed cardstock, the added elements vary in scale to create balance and interest across the overall composition.
A variety of materials were used to bring this tag together, including a printed cardstock base, stamping ink, texture paste, ink pen details, and layered cardstock. Each medium adds its own unique dimension, working together to enhance both the visual appeal and physical texture of the design.
While cleaning up the stencil, I wiped the excess with a baby wipe through the stencil onto another leftover piece of printed cardstock, creating a slightly different take on the design. This version appears softer and more subtle, with less dimension than the original application. I have to admit, I may even prefer this look over the first—it has a gentle, understated charm.

In the close-up image, you can see the added dimension created by the foam tape and the texture paste. It also offers a great view of the inked edges of the cardstock, which help define each layer and add depth to the overall design.
