TAGS! Beautiful backgrounds and more!

SO, just what do you get when you combine a bunch of great products???
The answer is: a really fun week of playing!!!!

On tags, I was challenged to work with stencils from The Crafter's Workshop, Distress Inks & Stains, Radiant Rain and Vintage Scraps....

Firstly, I HAVE to say using the words CHALLENGED and WORK, well lets just say I need a synonym. Or is that antonym? Better ask the 10 year old....
I loved it!!! I just couldn't stop. BUT the good thing, I'm getting into Christmas Holiday themes! I used Photoshop to create the word phrases for the bottom. YES I could have used a Microsoft program, but I REALLY need to practice more with PSE!

IF ONLY the shimmer of the Solar Gold showed as well...

Hey, guess what I did? Made my own 'tissue(less) tape'! Need to work on that....

Count down to Christmas is what I call this one. That would be the one up there. Above....

See the goldish-tanish one? With the brocade design. It looks almost embossed IRL. Tough to see in pictures.

I got wise this time. 

I'll wait for the laughter to subside.....

Done yet?

I actually wrote on the back of the tags, steps I took & colors!

No more relying on the ol' memory!

Pretty smart hugh?

These 2 on the left are a 2 stepper. First you mist the tag. THEN using the ink & spray that's left on the stencil, you STAMP onto the 2nd tag! WHO woulda thunk?

And one of my favorite techniques, Vintage Photo. But this is done with a brocade twister!

If I tell you, I'd have to kill you.... 

LOL

No really.....

Just come see me at the demo. I'll let you in on the secret!!!!
