Hi!! This is Leslie from http://scrapnlifeaway.blogspot.com/ !! Today is my day to share a creation with you!! Thank you Sheila for having me!! This is my take on a vintage flower tag! It was so much fun and easy to do and I used some of my favorite “stuff”!! So, on that note, let’s make a tag!!
|
I started out with a standard shipping tag (4-3/4 x
2-3/8). I actually bought some at the
office supply store, I got 100 tags for just a couple bucks. On days that I have more time I will cut a
bunch out on my cricut as well! There are so many carts with really cute tags! I
sprayed the tag with two different glimmer mists. (My favorite "stuff" to play with!) Olive green on the top of the tag and gold on
the bottom. (hint: I keep a large pizza box on hand when
spraying my glimmer mists! It saves me
on having to clean any mess I make) I
then gave the tag a quick dry with my heat tool.
I knew I wanted a sentiment on the tag so I pulled out my
big book of stamps! (I will have to pull that out for all of you sometime!) I found a nice sentiment and flowers in the
Treasured Memories stamp set by CTMH. I
used Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Tim
Holtz to stamp my sentiment and Iced Spruce Distress Ink for the flowers. I also used my little dauber thingy (lol) to
distress a flower I found in my stash.
It took just a few moments for my ink to dry on the tag and
on the flower. Then I used my handy
dandy quick dry adhesive and glued the flower down onto the tag. I also grabbed my Prima branch bark chalk and
chalked the edges of the tag. When I am
doing a “vintage look” project, I make sure to let the chalk actually bleed
over onto the surface to help me achieve that worn look. I grabbed a 6 in. piece of twine and tied it
on the top and there you have it!!
You can do so many things with tags! They are great for journaling, but I think a
tag like this would look so pretty on a bouquet of dried flowers or used as an
embellishment on a vintage layout!! I
hope that my little creation encourages you to create some of your own
tags!! Have a great day everybody!! Go forth and create!!!
