It’s been a few months since I joined in the Uk stampers forum tag swap but decided to have some fun with bits and pieces from the Artful Days goodie box stash that I hadn’t touched in an age and making a tag seemed like the best way to do that!
I started with strips of the patterned paper that were left on the desk from other projects and added them to a piece of cardstock cut to the right size for the tag.
I then used gesso to blend them together. Once that was dry I then used some distress inks to add brown.
Next I stamped a script stamp all over the background. Then I took a different script stamp and stamped in some places and embossed with my white and gold frantage powder.
I then started playing with the wood laser cut LOVE adding a couple of coats of the same embossing powder to that too.
I chose a feather and glued it down and then added the wood piece too. I then chose three coordinating gems and added those too.
Next I added some doodles in brown ink and took out my piercing tool and added some holes for sewing.
I then added the Island Indigo ribbon and some thread to the top of the tag.
Hope you like this fun bit of mixed media.
Happy crafting!
