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.

Tag Journal book by Michelle Logan

Hi everyone yes ...it's Friday .....and time for another peek inside my "Art by Marlene" tag journal using up some of my scrappy bits and pieces. 

So lets get into it: 

The 5th Page:

As well as various scrappy collage papers I also used a figure from an older Dina Wakley Stamp and my page tabs are by Scrap FX.

 

The 6th Page:

On this page I used another Jane Davenport gal from her collage papers as well as Ricepapers from Scrap FX, including one I designed called Sketchings No2 (yes shameless plug there!) Kylie is now stocking these pages so if you want to get your hands on them head to the shop!

The 7th Page:

This page is just full of Collage papers scraps and a spray or two of Dina's Gloss Sprays.

The face is another Jane Davenport gal from  the same Collage paper and the background stamp is a newbie by Art by Marlene called "Exclusive Textures"

And now for the 

Last page:

I made a flip out using a tag I had on my desk...(yes I do not clean up much!) and my last Jane Davenport Gal and coloured her with pencils. Once again lots of collage paper including my beloved Kylie spots!

I also have a habit of making my own black and white collage paper using various marks and brushstrokes so I used some of that paper here.

 

Lastly I used another saying on the tag from the Scrap FX rice paper line.

And we are done!

This is the last page that I made in this journal but in the kit there are more pages for another....or you could use them all in the one journal for a gloriously chunky one!
