Tab Tag Booklet with Belinda Spencer

 Hey Scrapping Clearly fans!

It's Belinda here today with a late post! I have a cute little booklet to share with you featuring the Tab Tags by Studio Light Art By Marlene Essentials and lots of other fabulous goodies from the store.

I grabbed 6 tags from the pad and proceeded to colour them using Prima Art Philosophy Concentrated Watercolours. I spritzed one tag to start with using quite a lot of water and then dropped the watercolour onto the surface. It's kind of mesmerizing watching the watercolour bloom and spread. I added three different colours to the first tag. Then, because the tag was so wet, I placed another tag on top of it to colour that one too. 

There was quite a lot of excess watercolour that squeezed out the sides so I used some book paper to swipe it up and made myself some instant collage fodder.

Next I grabbed some of the awesome Dina Wakley Stickyback Canvas Tape. I cut three lengths, removed the backing and stuck them to some plastic packaging. I spritzed them with water and added the same watercolours. I left them to dry in a sunny spot. These are what I used to bind my tag book together.

Once completely dry, I stamped and stencilled the tape. I used Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink for the stamping and a heavy weight gesso for the stencilling.

Next, I added some stencilling to the tags using the same gesso and stencils.

Here is the cover of my tag booklet. I added some collage using torn pieces of the collage fodder I created earlier and also torn pieces of Art By Marlene Collage Paper. I also collaged on a cute girl from the Art By Marlene Paper Elements Books (Mint and Lime). I used Dina Wakley Ultra Thick Gel Medium for the glue. I also added some stamping and doodling. I used a Stabilo watersoluble pencil to scribble around the girl and then activated with a wet paintbrush to emphasize her and set her apart from the background.

I used pretty much the same techniques for all of the pages using different cute die cuts from the Paper Elements books. I used Posca Pens, acrylic paint and Lyra Watercolour Crayons to add detail to the backgrounds. The quote stickers are from the Studio Light Jenine's Mindful Art Collection Time To Relax Stickers.
