I hope your weekend is going well! World Cup Fever has taken over in our house so I am taking refuge in my craft room :)
I have been wanting to play along with Virginia's latest challenge over at Virginia's View. I was a bit stumped as I am not one for making tags and there is the added requirement to use something recycled.....
After much messing about, this is what I came up with:
I swooshed each of the tags through distress stains diluted with water and love the backgrounds this created. Each of the tags features Hero Arts stamps - I spritzed the ferns with water to get a softer look. The recycled item on the first two is text from an old dictionary that I had saved for die cutting. There is nothing recycled on the last one, I was just having so much fun making tags!! I really enjoyed getting inky - thanks Virginia!
We are off to visit my father in law for Father's Day - best wishes to all of the wonderful Dads out there :)
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteVery nice tags! I love all the detail and colors, perfect for summer! I love gold embossing on tags, I may be addicted to it :D Darnell mentioned your blog and I just had to come pay a visit! I too made a tag, actually posted today on my blog, for Virginia's challenge.
