Recently I have started going through old art journals to decrease the amount of stuff in my life.  I had several (Ok five) partially completed journals) and so I decided to take three of them and use the pages as tag bases.  A few of the journal pages turned into great tags all on there own.  This is one of them.

I created this collage at least 5 years ago.  Most of the images are vintage images with matte medium used as collage glue.  There is always stickers, die cuts, stamping and netting on the collage.

I started this stenciled collage about 5 years ago in a journal.  Recently I have been culling my old art journals for material for tags.  I use most of the material at tag bases but this one worked perfect at a tag on its own.  So I do not have any really instructions on how I created this because I can't remember. The tag includes stamping the circles in black and stenciling the blue waves, tulips, and the letters.
