Tag Day!

Tag Day!  Tim shared his May tag yesterday and I had to play around with the techniques this morning. I ended up creating two different tags.

My first tag;
 I loved Tim's technique of adding the clear stickers onto areas of the tag to resist the ink applied.  I didn't have too many of them in my sticker drawer so I used a few Christmas ones.  I added a few rub-ons.  I then stamped the Statue of Liberty and New York from the DarkRoom Door - New York Volume I set. I added highlights with the white gel pen. The background is distress stains.


I created a second tag: 


 I used a mix of rub-ons and clear stickers. I love the effect of the clear stickers as they keep it white.  I didn't have enough on hand to play around more. I used a mix of October Afternoon and Maya Road Rub-ons on this tag. I stamped the flowers form DarkRoom Door Garden Greetings.  I used my new Distress Stains (Thanks Lisa!) to ink up the background. 

I ripped my second tag!  I was trying to put a pearl brad in the dragonfly (Artistic Outpost) by piercing it with my stylus and the tag ripped right off.  ARGH!  I just taped it back together to finish photographing it. But I had fun and learned a few things along the way.

Have a lovely Thursday!
