A few days back I showed you how I made the crackled grungepaper ornament. The post is here in case you missed it.
Today I am going to use the ornament to create my version of Tim's tag:
First off, here is the link to Tim's ornament, and his step by step instructions. I haven't really deviated much in the way of technique, the main difference is I have chosen to use a few different materials.
The backing paper I used is a sheet of vintage Christmas decoupage paper which I aged with some antique Royal Coat (same stuff as Modge Podge), and then gave it a light sand and a white wash (literally a wash of watery white paint to lighten it).
I wanted to do something a little different with the cracked ornament also, so I sanded it lightly. The sanding causes fine white dust, which falls into and fills the cracks, causing the white contrast. I love this effect, it really brings out the cracks.
