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 -
Other Materials:
Distress Reinkers: Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Festive Berries

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
See you all again tomorrow
