I used three shades of acrylic paint for the tag itself and the Grumpies are coloured with my Copics. I'm not usually one for bright colours but I like how they go together here.
Clare showed us a technique on her blog a couple of months back where you scrape through the top layer of paint with the handle of your brush to create texture. I put a layer of aqua paint on the tag and when it was dry I applied blue and white paint over the top. I then scraped through the blue and white paint while it was wet to reveal the aqua underneath. I love how that works. Thanks Clare.
LOL... Too cute!
