Creating your tag holder:

Using a small piece of mount board, die cut 2 of the folio journal base pieces and the tag
Using digital paper Die cut a mandala
Select chipboards to use; “make”, “do”, love heart and fern
Spray all the pieces with gloss sprays until happy with the colours and spray chipboards as stencils onto the watercolour paper as desired.

Use gel medium to adhere bookpaper to the back of the “make & do” chipboards and the piece of the tag.
Allow to dry, the watercolour paper will absorb a lot of paint
Assemble the folio as a tag holder, the longer edge is now the back / top, using the “base pieces” tape them into the sides to create pocket. Use gel medium over the joins to strengthen.

Using gel medium adhere die cut mandala, cut off excess and use elsewhere, adhere the coloured chipboards and spray with a splatter of gloss Night and tie some string around to finish off.

The holder sits on a flat surface but can also be hung, hole punch top corners, fasten eyelets, thread string. With Fude ball pen outline where desired.
