I made this tag for fun and will use it either as a gift tag or put it into my art journal. I stamped with the Art Foamies Batik Pattern 1 and Batik Pattern 3 Foam Stamp and Acrylic Paint and then tried my new Varco Art Grafs out – I have to show you those soon- Oh man the colors are so yum! They are graphite blocks and are awesome for drawing, painting and writing.
Loving the mixture of the acrylic paint and the graphite. I guess time to film a Creative Icebreaker with those soon :)
Here are the supplies I used – some links are affiliate links:
Hope you make your mark today :)

Very cool! Did you do a wash of paint(s) for the background?

Hi Stephanie, I stamped with the acrylic paints and the stamps directly onto the tag and then used the ArtGraf Varcos and did a wash – they are super pigmented and made the stamped areas really pop.
