Artist tapes have become one of the hottest trends in mixed media. While there is a vast selection to choose from, nothing compares with custom artist tape. Creating your own tape can be done with just a few simple products that most of us have on hand and in just a handful of minutes.
Cut at least three strips of cotton tape and adhere them to a nonstick craft mat. With a dry paintbrush apply acrylic paint. Allow to dry.
With solvent ink and a stamp of your choice, create a base layer of imagery.
Again with solvent ink, apply a second layer of imagery over the first.
Neutral colors are great as a foundation for the tapes; however, do not feel limited to a small palette as the options are endless.
When adding additional layers to the tape, it is aesthetically pleasing to work on the edges and perimeter.
When I create my tape, I like to do so in large batches so I always have a bit on hand.
