A swallow tag

Hi There! As the theme for this month's challenge over in the Bee Crafty Facebook group is tags, I thought I would make a tag this week. 

I began by cutting the biggest tag from mixed media card using the Bee Crafty Dies. 
 

Next I sprayed it with Dylusions sprays and left it to dry.

Once it was dry I used the dotty dinkable and black soot oxide ink to add some stencilling and also brushed a little ink around the edge of the tag. 

I stamped some of the coffee stain rings and numbers using versafine clair ink over the tag

on a seperate piece of card I stamped the swallow stamp and die cut it

I painted it using distress inks.

I added some white highlights on the tag using a white posca pen and then stamped some of the small words too.

Once it was dry I added the swallow to the tag with 3d glue, along with a little black thread under the swallow and some fibres to the tag top.

Here is the finished tag.

I used:

Tag dies

Dinkables set 2

Coffee stain stamp set

Small words stamp set

Birds and butterflies regular stamps

Birds and butterflies regular dies

Dylusions sprays in Lemon Zest and Blue Lagoon

Black soot Distress Oxide ink

Versafine clair in Warm breeze and nocturne

White posca pen

As Jane said in her live last week, tags are a great way of experimenting and just having a go when mojo is lacking. It is equally easy to do this sort of background a little larger and use it on a card or a journal page.

Thanks for looking!
