Tag Swap - May

I've made my stamped tags for this month's swap - the theme is Oriental.

I used a new set of stamps I'd just received - it's the Limited Edition Asian set.

March Tag Swap

The Theme for Hels March Tag Swap is flowers, so here are my 3 tags. I stamped my flower images and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then tinted the tags using acrylic paints revealing the stamped images. I stamped the sayings direct on to the tags and on to small tags. I overlaid the tops of the main tags using cream hammered card.

Using my cro-o-dile I punched holes into either side of the top of the main tags and in to the centre of each smaller tag. Contrasting satin ribbon was threaded through the tops of main tags and tied on to the smaller tags. The smaller tags were tucked into the ribbons on the top of the main tags. The backs were stamped with the floral images.

Tag Swap - February

The theme for this month's swap is Paper Artsy stamps - none of which I have. So a big thank you to Hels for stamping some out for me. I tinted the backgrounds on my tags using various TH Distress Inks, cut out or tore the designs and coloured those in the same way.













Added a few ribbons and embellishments and my tags were complete, another challenge I have really enjoyed.
