Tag, you're it!

Good morning blogland,

It's a lovely Saturday morning here in (for once) sunny Lincolnshire, the first day of the summer school holidays, and a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' .  For the challenge this fortnight we'd like to see your stamping with a theme of 'Tags'.

Now, normally, I would have just added a tag to a card but, in the spirit of trying to stamp un-inked stamps and use smaller stamps, I went for a real, able to use, gift tag! It's ended up, with me doing that, that you've got two for the price of one! 

The logic I was using - if you're going to make a useable tag, then do something a bit more challenging than: stamp, colour, add to card.  So I decided to go with shaker tags and make my own background for the back panel of the shaker 'bit' and I was trying to mist a background over a stencil.  Four attempts later, I had two useable pieces of card. These are how they turned out:

Supplies used:

Stamps:

Time for Tea Designs: Let's Party

coloured with my Copics

Woodware: sentiments (I can't find anything on the packaging other than 'clear stamp set designed by

 Jane Gill')

Dies:

un-branded tag set

Impression Obsessions: Everyday Top Edgers

Stencil:

My Favorite Things: Sunrise Radiating Rays

Anything Else:

Cosmic Shimmer mister

sparkly stuff for the shaker

bit of twine for the tags

And that's it folks - I'm currently suffering with quite a bad head cold and am off to feel sorry for myself.

See you soon,

Sarah
