Stencils and Tags

This year is going to be about Layering...
 
So what better place to start than on a Tag?!?!?
 
Lots of products here, just play with the layers.

 
I start with a #8 Manila Tag, GrungePaste and a Chevron Stencil.
 
Then I added layers of Distress Stains and Green Yellow Inka Gold.
 
 
I used Stamps with Archival Inks, White Paint, and a White Pen last. See the difference a white pen makes in the contrast on the Typewriter!!!

 
Add a Trim to the top, layer it onto Black Chipboard and add 3 Wooden Buttons to give a bit of interest.
 
Simple, Simple, Simple.....my word for the Year!

  6. I've had a few projects lately that I almost scrapped because something was missing. Added some more layers (what could it hurt, right?) and wah-lah! Problem solved. :)

    Gorgeous tag. The white pen really hit the spot.
