Transparent Magazine Lifting

"The technique used for this tag is a magazine lifting method that creates beautifully transparent images with a soft, layered look. The process itself was very pleasing and produced results that exceeded my expectations—definitely a technique I’ll be reaching for again. For the base of the tag, I chose a vintage-style dictionary page, which added subtle texture and interest without overpowering the design. I then layered the transparent images on top, allowing the text to show through, and finished the piece with an aged ephemera element to give the tag a timeworn, collected feel."
