Art by Marlene Octopus Mixed Media Tag Tutorial


Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a fun project tutorial!  I've slowly collected a few Art by Marlene products from Topflight Stamps and was excited to finally pull a project together.  I used the AMAZING mixed media surface: Art by Marlene Tab Tags.  I'm sharing the vertical video on IGTV today, so make sure to follow.  I used PaperArtsy Infusions in Royal Blood and Emerald Isle to add a grungy/earthy base color for the tag and the stamped images.  Then I painted over portions with PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk Acrylics in Captain Peacock, Cloud 9, Twilight and Bubble Gum. 

I used PaperArtsy Sara Naumann stencil PS101 with a babywipe and Frescos to add the circles in the background.  I used Art by Marlene dies for the greenery and scallop detail.  The Octopus and Oyster Shell stamps come from the So-Fish-Ticated Sea Creatures stamp set 13.  I added Stickles glitter glue, large adhesive pearls and Pink Diamond Sparkles Gemstones to finish it off.  I really hope this funky project makes you smile and encourages you to be your brave beautiful self today!  Hugs, Autumn

    Easily, Queen of the Underworld! Love all those tidly-bits of pink, Autumn. How many octupus's can sport a crown like that?

      How about sharing what die you used for the white "hills" that are the bottom of your tag? And, your reuse of those plastic lids for a paint palette is a great inspiration! I will be using my cottage cheese lids this afternoon for just that same purpose! Have a Happy Memorial Day, Autumn!

      Thanks Mary! It was a lovely long weekend. Glad you liked that little upcycle. :) And the die is ABM, also by Studio Light. It was from TFS, but I think it has now been discontinued. :(
