“Quoth the Raven, Nevermore”
Tag by Leigh
I'm kicking of the hop today with my POEtastic mixed media tag featuring Poe Portrait and Signature and The Winter Raven.
I decided to flip the Poe portrait digi for this tag and collaged portions of the poem from The Winter Raven in Photoshop and printed out the design. I then die cut the main panel and tag layers using Tim's Stacked Tag dies, black cardstock and decorative paper from my stash.
I coloured the collage with Mustard Seed, Tea Dye, Walnut Stain and Black Soot Distress Inks.
I applied Brutus Monroe gold embossing powder thickly on the left side and stamped a "Nevermore" text rubber stamp into it while very hot to create the debossed effect. I then applied EP to the bottom right side using Tim's Decayed stencil.
I embellished the tag with the wooden numbers “19” (painted black) and portions of Tim's Tangled Twigs die (cut from black cardstock). I then coated the numbers and die cuts with clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint and enhanced the crackle with silver gilding wax.
I had lots of fun creating this vintage mixed media tag and hope it inspires you to create your own Poe themed projects too😉
