I was over the moon to be runner up for the Artful Times challenge 59 : A Postcard from Abroad, I enjoy those challenges and look forward to seeing what the design team and participants come up with.
Challenge 60 is a tag, sounds straightforward doesn't it, except not so easy for me as I feel guilty about tags!
I have not posted any for a very long time and there is a reason for this. In 2012, I agreed to do an Alpha Tag swap with my friend Sally, one tag for each letter of the alphabet. Sally completed her set and sent them to me last Autumn. I have yet to complete mine (9 to go, I'm getting there). I WILL finish them and when I do there will be 26 of them to post here.
Having said that, I just have to play along with the Artful Times challenge so this afternoon I made a tag.
Here it is:
Background : Distress inks in Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters, a few water drops flicked onto the tag.
Foliage stamped using Peeled Paint DI - Zendoodles String Theory set CICSA6192
Kaisercraft Butterflies stamped in black versafine ink.
The sentiment is from a Butterfly Kisses set.
Some die cut leaves added - Tim Holtz Spring Greenery (love that die, one of my favourites).
The ribbon is stained with peeled paint distress ink to match and a few dots of green distress stickles added for a bit of interest.
I hope you like it, and Sally, if you read this, I really am working on the tag project, I have not forgotten!
