Hallo there!

It's Christmas Party time and

Helen Chilton has  a super

Party Tag for us featuring

the one and only Boris. 

Here she is to guide us

through the project

You will need the large character

from PaperArtsy's Zinsky Art Set 03

Stamp him in black onto stamping card 

and add a little hat from one of the other characters

Now colour him in

I've used Distress Reinkers to watercolour my images. 

These are very intense so a little goes a very long way

Next I cut a tag out of mount board and stencilled over some 

DecoArt Crackle Paint using  Tim Holtz stencil the Ringer

When dry it looked like this

I've added a twizzling bow tie to Boris (that's what I'm calling him!)

I then dribbled some Squeezed Lemonade Reinker along the top ofmy tag..

............and spritzed it with water to make it run.

Repeat with peacock Feathers Reinker and the Picked Raspberry

Blot with kitchen roll and add some more colour with a brush

 until you're happy

Then I stamped some of the borders from the stamp set 

keeping them kind of edgy as Boris is a bit of a prickly kind of guy. 

Paint them in

i used part of one of the other stamps to add the antennae pattern 

(these stamps are great for that as they've got so much detail in them) 

Finish off with your ribbons and text which I printed out on the computer.

Here's Boris in all his finery!

I love this quirky PaperArtsy Zini character - 

you can make him fit so many different styles.

Thank you for such a fun project Helen

Might have to use this as gift tag for a child.......

even a "Manchild"............

sure to raise a smile or two
