Mixed Media Tag

Hi friends.  Let me just say, my thoughts and prayers are with the people in France as they try to deal with the tragic events in Paris this past week.  What a frightening world we live in today!

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to pull out various inks, sprays and pastes to make a couple of tags.  Here is one I created.


The base is a premade black tag that was covered with a sheet of patterned paper.  I then took a Tim Holtz stencil and modeling paste to give texture to the background.  I sprayed several Glimmer Mists onto the tag.  I neglected to keep track of the sprays used as I just kept spraying various ones until I achieved a look I was happy with.  A piece of decorative trim was added to the bottom.  Some of the flowers are from Recollections and the leaves are Prima.  I added a pick from Petaloo and a charm from my stash.  The butterfly image is from Crafty Secrets and showcased with a K&Co frame.  A few rhinestones from Recollections and a seam binding bow finishes the tag.


I think the colors are perfect for this time of year.  There is so much shimmer and shine to the tag in person.

That's it for me today.  Earlier, I helped my parents make homemade kielbasa--a Polish family tradition with us--so I am looking forward to relaxing the rest of the day (hopefully).  Thank you so much for stopping by.  I always enjoy and appreciate reading your kind comments.  Have a wonderful week!
