March Tag for 12 Tags of 2012

Tim's 12 Tags of 2012

This is for March (didn't do February). I had a couple of the items and had to improvise with the others. I didn't have the wood background stamp so I ran the tag through a wood looking embossing folder. I inked it with Vintage Photo. I did the butterflies like Tim's but used a platinum embossing powder. I think it came out ok. I've done this technique before and have used small, silver glass beads for the grout. The butterflies had pretty small "grout lines" so I didn't think the beads would work.

Since the tag was embossed, I stamped the saying on a piece of foil that I inked with alcohol inks. The flower is out of my jewelry making stash.

Thanks for looking.

  2. I love your tag. I haven't done mine yet and love how you used the stuff you had on hand. I love the bold colors you used behind your sentiment. Really pops.
