Then I thought, why not make them fluorescent dogs? This was easily achieved using some Dylusions paint.
Next I incorporated some Seth Apter Izink Ice glaze, which is a paint/gel-ish kind of substance that you can swipe on to create gorgeous translucent layers of color. I used Glacier Green and Greenland here, applied with a palette knife.
I wanted to add some bolder color around the edges, so I got out my Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers and some water and used some darker teals here and there.
Now it was TOO teal, so I went back in with some white paint to tone it down. I stamped on some circles using Tim Holtz's Halftone and Rings stamp set and painted them white, then added in some green and blue and pink. I also heat embossed some smaller dots onto my tag using Inky Antic's Tiny Houses stamp set and some white embossing powder. I painted around the edges with some Paper Artsy Midnight paint.
And what to add for the focal point? I flipped through my trusty Dina Wakley Collage Collective book and cut out some plant-looking shapes and glued them onto my tag. Then I sewed around them with my sewing machine. I also cut out some leaves in different colors to glue on top of the plant I'd already glued to my tag.
I glued on my leaves, did a little flick of Dina Wakley Night Gloss Spray and added a Tim Holtz "Love" Chit Chat sticker. This tag was done!
