Hello there my friends.  It is that time again....the mid way point for the challenge at Pause Dream Enjoy. The theme for this challenge is to use 3 or more pattern papers on a project.  Can't wait to see what you make.  

I made this card for my brother-in-law's 50th birthday.  I wanted it fun, bright and something to reflect his personality.  I like how it turned out.

PDE Linky Party #14 ~ Tags

Good morning crafty friends and welcome to another mid-way point of the two week challenge at PDE Linky Party.  You have one week left to show us your projects of either a tag or adding a tag to your creation.  Tags come in all shapes and sizes and I look forward to seeing yours.

The tag I have to show you is a new to me technique that I tried.  In April at Scrapfest I bought myself some Tim Holtz mini distress inks and have been wanting to try them out.  I started with a white tag and inked it up with Christmas colours.  This process was messy and I just played with the ink and water until I got a look I liked.  I then let it dry and embossed the stamps, added the poinsettia die and the ribbons.  Voila, one tag done for a gift :)

 

A closer look at the embossing and die cut detail:

RECIPE:

Tag ~ Recollections (3" x 6")

Tim Holtz Mini Distress Inks ~ Mowed Lawn, Brick Red

Stamps ~ Frog's Whiskers (Poinsettia), Hero Arts (Sentiment)

Versamark Stamp Pad

Stampendous Embossing Powder ~ White

Spellbinders ~ Nestabilities Layered Poinsettia Die

Jewels ~ Recollections

Ribbons/Fibers ~ "Use It Up" Inventory

I would like to enter this tag into the following challenges:

Inky Chicks Challenge #33  ~ Christmas in July

Quirky Craft Challenge #14 ~ Christmas in July with Die Cuts/Punches

Robyn's Fetish Challenge #220 ~ Christmas in July

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a wonderful day and I hope to see your tags at the Linky Party HERE!!!! 

Until next time, keep crafting.

My card today celebrates our country.  Canada is turning 146 years old and we celebrate with family, fun, fireworks, cook outs, picnics, etc., all the fun Summer brings.
