[9.26.2014] TAG you’re It!

Tag You’re It!

Let’s get ready, it is time for our next challenge with Tag You’re It!.  To play along, just create a TAG or TAG containing project inspired by this tag project.

Inspiration:  The double tag immediately jumped out at me.  I like how they were “tied” together and yet offset.  I also love the background Gayatri created and wanted to create one of my own.  And of course, I had to have stars too.

I’m learning how to use my Distress Inks and blending tool.  It is taking some serious practice.  I went simple with this background and just used two different yet similar colors.  I also went for a  bit of an ombre effect.  With my bold background completed, I went in with a star stencil and added some black stars with ink and then layered on some wood veneer stars too.  I cut out two tags from patterned paper and covered one with the happy birthday sentiment.  To help focus the eye, I popped up one of those sentiments on a white banner.  Last, I tied the two tags together with a burlap sting and a paper bow.

    Hmm, where were you the other day when I was trying to offset a pair of tags? 😉 Your background is perfect with the sprinkling of stars.
