Tag Happy

Today, I have not one but two projects to share.  It is no secret that my most favorite craft project is a homemade tag.  Just love to make them!

First up is a tag layered with leftover scraps of paper from Prima's Anna Marie collection.  The flowers, I believe, are Prima as is the pearl/rhinestone swirl and the circle of crystal around the tiny rose in the upper right corner.  The butterfly charm is from Michaels.  I added some accents around the tag with Liquid Pearls and finished it off with a pink twill ribbon.

I love the papers in the 6x6 Anna Marie paper pad.  I'm finding myself drawn to them lately.  However, the next tag is completely different.

For this tag, I decided to get a little messy.  Using two shades of Tim Holtz' Distress Inks (salty ocean and squeezed lemonade) spritzed with water, I took a white tag and dragged it through the inks.  It created the prettiest color combination.  I did a bit of stamping with a Prima stamp.  I then took a Tim Holtz graduated circle stencil and created a nice layer with some Liquitex modeling paste.  A piece of wide lace was put on top of that.  The flowers are Prima.  See that pretty vine diecut?  That is from Cherry Lynn and I just love it!  The cluster of flowers was finished off with a vintage button and a rose from Recollections.  The butterfly was made with a Martha Stewart punch and coated with Recollections glitter.

Well, I guess that was a bit of a lengthy post from me; but I hope you like the tags.  It's a beautiful Memorial Day weekend here in this part of the country.  We're getting ready to go to a family barbecue but are keeping in mind those who gave their lives for this country.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
