this is a tiny tag, measuring about 1x2 inches. i spritzed the tag base with water color inks from stamp zia (a company which sadly seems to have gone out of business) in blue topaz and emerald green. I stamped the mermaid first, a stamp by "good stamps stamp goods) and then masked the mermaid (watch out i'm getting fancy...). next i stamped the waves (meer image stamps) and the bubbles (G-rated stamps).final step was adding this lovely black ribbon.
next up is another tag, which is for the take a word challenge, "dancer," and the gecko galz paper crafting challenge group on facebook's june color challenge "yellow and orange." i don't usually decorate both sides of a tag but i did that here so i'm showing you both sides of the one tag here..
the background designer papers as well as the foreground vintage images are all by gecko galz. i used a stencil on top of the designer paper on the second side -- "splotches" by tim holtz, i used a marker and just outlined the splotches rather than completely coloring through the holes. other than that i used washi tape (by cavallini and co) and distress inks to finish the piece, and ribbon of course.
enjoy! love to all.
