I do love to make tags but really don't know what to do with them after I've made them. I couldn't possibly add them to a gift and give them away as I'm not sure the receiver would appreciate them and all that time I've spent creating. What do you do with your tags?
I was inspired to play along with the new challenge Tag-Along (and ATC's) and their theme is AG with the option of Garden.
Tracy Evans Boutique Designs has just released a new set which is fast becoming my favourite called Dog Rose and Butterfly. I love the extra ephemera stamps she has added for us and I just love the butterfly.
My piece started out as a play on the gel press - inspired by Alison Bomber to add real grasses to the paint and you can just see a faint imprint of the grasses I used. The paints used were Tim Holtz Walnut Stain and Cracked Pistachio. I then stamped the butterfly collage stamp from Tracy's set in Versafine Shady Lane. I restamped the butterfly in Versafine Portobello and cut it out and inked it with Distress Oxides in Cracked Pistachio and Unchartered Mariner.
I added some of the extra pieces of ephemera stamps and added some splatter.
I'm adding this into the following
Hi Fiona, the tag is beautiful with soft colors. Thanks for joining the Dream Valley Challenge. Tatiana x DT
ReplyDeleteI've wondered the same as I looked at my growing collection, then decided to package some and give eldest Granddaughter a few to take to one of her bake sales where she sells some of my cards. To my surprise they were very popular so seems there is a market for them.
ReplyDeleteObviously I love the rustic feel to your garden themed tag with the focal Butterfly, something about earthy colours that always appeals. Many thanks for sharing with us at Tag-Along (and ATC's) and Stamping Sensations challenges, perfect for both.
