Hey,
Welcome to May!
It has been AGES since I played along with a Simon Says Stamp challenge.
But my good friend Cheiron is on the design team for the Monday challenge and I LOVED her tag and it reminded me how much I love making tags.
In case you haven't figured it out, this week's challenge is Tag it.
As you can see from the main photo I got totally carried away and made x3 tags!
But my entry for the challenge is the middle one -
Bizarrely the actual tag I used here was a gift from Cheiron! I created the background by blending over the entire tag using Spiced Marmalade distress oxide ink and then I used a couple of the Tim Holtz layering stencils over the top. Clockwork in Chipped Sapphire and Schoolhouse in Black Soot.
I then stamped, coloured and fussy cut the weird Flamingo head and legs by Dylusions (Waddle Waddle) - I really love these weird stamps by Dyan Reaveley. I die-cut the body using a stitched arch die and a scrap. The sentiment is a fave and is also by Dylusions.
It felt a bit flat, so I added a bit of washi-tape that I coloured with Dina Wakely scribble sticks and I added some stars using texture paste and a Tim Holtz stencil (Shifter Stars). When the stars were dry I coloured over them with Spectrum Noir sparkle pens.
I am SO pleased with the final tag.
The other two tags turned out great too and I am going to make a few more, now I am on a tag roll!
What a fabulous tag trio! I love how each one is different and totally unique. It is a tribute to your artistry that you can pull off so many different styles successfully. I'm so glad you decided to join us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and enjoyed your entry so much.
