Tag Magic

Time for The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge!  This week's challenge is hosted by the talented Ginny and she has chosen "Terrific Tags" as her challenge.  She describes the challenge as:

"Add it to a gift, label a homemade tasty treat, or display it with your favorite home decor, tags are not only fun to create they also have a million uses.  For this challenge create a tag that's big or small, mixed media or layered, or added to a project as a fabulous focal point."

I love tags!  They are fun to play with as they give you a chance to try new ideas, techniques or stamps in a smaller design format.

I started with about 5 different tag backgrounds and ended up creating what I call my magician tag! 

After I had all these beautiful backgrounds on these tags, I ended up going with a plain white tag and blocking the design. :) 

For this tag I took a section of the Halloween rub-on remnants and placed it in the middle of the tag. I adhered them with the Popsicle stick.    I then decided to use the stencil with black embossing paste to add texture to the bottom and top of the tag. 

My next step was to stamp the professor in between.  I used scrap cardstock to mask the other areas.  I then masked the professor and stamped the ledger over the professors section of the tag.  I finished with some lines drawn with versamark and embossed with black embossing powder. 

I wanted something fun so I stamped and cut out the top hat. I tilted it on it side.  I then stamped a background stamp in red ink and cut out mini cards.  They also were embossed with clear embossing powder to give them the glossy finish you see on cards today.  (I so wanted a mini bunny to pop out of the hat!) 

The stars were painted silver and attached.  The Halloween adornment was painted with white paint first and I rubbed off the excess paint.  I let that dry and then I smeared black stazon ink over the surface to make the front black.

Please go check out the rest of the fabulous Design Team's creations!  They are really beautiful!  Come join  us and share your tags!
