One Little Tag Craft Challenge #110

This technique was one that was part of the Mixed Media Morsels challenge organized by Cat Hand on Youtube https://youtu.be/8myU_lw9DEA

Paint a manila tag with gesso.  Let dry.  Cut up piece of colorful paper into different size triangles.  I used a magazine picture but in her video Cat Hand used gelli prints.  Adhere to the tag in a mosaic design.  Cover with gel medium to secure all pieces. Let Dry.  Stamp Script stamp (A Stamp in the Hand Stamps) and Archival Ink Jet Black over the mosaic.  Apply Tim Holtz Tissue tape.  Stamp Seashell (Judikins) and quote (Invoke Stamps) in Archival Ink Jet Black on handmade paper.  Adhere to tag. 

One Little Tag Craft Challenge #30

As part of the Tag Craft Challenge, there are weekly prompts.  They do not have to be used but are great suggestions and I use them a challenge to learn new techniques or use neglected supplies I have in the craft hoard. This three piece stencil from Plaid was one such neglected supply.  

Using an ink blender tool, Distress ink was applied to a manila tag through a three piece stencil.  Different parts of the stencil were used to get the different color effects.  Colors of distress ink used were Shaded Lilac and Weathered Wood.  Images were stamped directly onto the tag using Archival Ink Jet Black. Images are from Non Sequitur Stamps and Lost Coast Designs.  Washi tape and Tim Holtz Tissue Tape were adhered to the top of the tag.

One Little Tag Challenge #3

Started with a Kraft tag. I stamped the dogwood flower and sentiment (both from unity stamp company) in archival ink in sepia. Sepia ink was also brushed around the edge of the tag.  The image was outlined with an inktense pencil in white. The tag was embellished with household string and tissue tape by Tim Holtz.
