Good afternoon crafters! Today I actually had time to create. It’s hard when you have a one year old running around the house but I was able to whip up a super cute tag while he napped. I had popped by the simon says stamp challenge blog and saw that they had a tag challenge going on. I recently ordered some tags on etsy and so I thought this challenge was the perfect opportunity to try out those tags. My brother had asked me to make him a baby shower card so I knew the theme would be a baby one. (sorry bro, I know you asked for a card but I made a tag) I couldn’t decide what technique to use so I decided to distress my tag using a few different Tim Holtz inks. I used my Baby Love stamp set and needed a background for my giraffe. I also white heat embossed some stars on the top. I then stamped two sayings on the tag and used a banner I had cut out using my silhouette. I added some sweet dots, ribbon and some wink of stella clear glitter to finish it off. I will hopefully post a video on youtube on how I distress my tag and will add the link on this post. I will also list the supplies down below. Well thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!!
