Hello friends!
Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and today I’m sharing a vibrant and textured mixed media tag I had a blast creating! If you're looking for a fun way to use your gel press and experiment with custom tape, this little project might spark some inspiration.
To start, I pulled out my Studio Light Calm Acrylic Paints in Peony and Azure—two dreamy colors that blend beautifully. Using my gel press, I pulled a soft, layered print onto a blank tag.
For extra texture and interest, I grabbed some bubble wrap (yes, the kind you can’t resist popping!) and used it to press more of the same paint onto masking tape. The result? A playful and patterned tape I can’t wait to use again in future projects. Making your own tape is so addictive!
Next, I stamped my tag using the PaperArtsy Tracy Scott 98 set. I layered in Versafine Clair inks in Twilight and Lavinia Russet Orange, then quickly clear heat-embossed the images to help them stand out against the colorful, layered background.
To finish it off, I added a simple sentiment from my label maker and voilà—a unique mixed media bookmark ready for my next read.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you feel inspired to play with your gel press and make something that’s uniquely you. Wishing you a joyful and creative weekend!
