A Game of Tag

I am not a big tag maker, even though I have seen so many gorgeous examples all over my various inspiration sites.  To be honest, for me it comes down to practically…what do I do with a tag?  So, I tend to keep my focus on cards, scrapbook pages and other paper crafted (useable) endeavors.   However, I was intrigued by Simon Says Stamps’ Monday Challenge to “Tag It”.  I ended up making a tag shaped card with a tag on it:

Both tags were cut using Tim Holtz “Tag Collection” dies.   For the base of the card I just trimmed a piece of folded cardstock and punched holes in all the layers.  The background was an experiment using shave cream and re-inkers through a Hero Arts Abstract Waves stencil.

To make the flowers, I first cut them out using the Tim Holtz “Tattered Florals” Bigz die.  Following a technique called Faux Embroidered Flower I learned from Technique Junkies, I used Majestic Purple and Peacock Liquid Pearls to cover them. 

Other supplies I used are:

**Paper from Club Scrap

**The sentiment stamp is from Club Scrap (Cherry Blossoms kit).  It is stamped with Onyx Black VersaFine ink and embossed with Silver Moon Turquoise powder from Lindy’s Stamp Gang.

**The ribbon is from Club Scrap (Artifacts kit).
