Who doesn’t love making tags? In this project, you can create a tag for your art journaling or card making using the Dylusions Collage sheets. Follow along to find some inspiration combining Dylusions stamps, stencils, and Collage images to create something super fun and different.
Step 1: Cut out a main focal image from the Dylusions Collage Sheets. In this project, one of the larger circles is ideal. A hand image was also chosen to offset the circle, and cut out as well.
Step 2: Stamp 2 of the Curlicues and a quote of your choice onto card stock with Archival Jet Black Ink. Cut out.
Step 3: Using the Dylusions Polished Jade paint and a Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool with Foam, blend the paint entirely into a #10 tag.
Step 4: Taking a Dylusions Stencil (here the Small Old School Alphabet was used), stencil with Tropical Sangria Paint onto the tag to create a background.
Step 5: Glue all collage and stamped image pieces onto page with Dylusions Glue Stick. Trim excess off the tag.
Step 6: Burnish tag around the edges with the Jet Black Archival Ink Pad for a more defined edge. You will now have a unique tag to add to a card or art journal page.
Hello! My name is Megan Whisner Quinlan. I have been an art journaling and book binding for about 20 years. However I took a 10-year break from paper arts when I had my first 2 children. About 5 years ago, I came back into journaling after some big life changes, including 2 more children. Journaling had always been a part of my life, especially to work things out in life on paper. When I first started out, I really only focused on making books by hand and some basic collage and stamping. I was intimidated by the amazing art journalers out there who had elaborate mixed media spreads in their journals. But when I came back to journaling after such a long break, I decided that I was going to really push myself to learn all the techniques I had been too afraid to try. Painting and drawing have really allowed me to find so much joy in my creative process, and I now almost exclusively create mixed media every day. I feel excited to have joined the art journaling community and you can find me on Instagram @Megan_Whisner_Quinlan.
