 the start of this week's tag was me putting something away. i had a tag and i was putting my dr martin watercolor ink away......and decided to drop a few drops on the tag....they are strong colors. i then used water on a brush and covered the tag with blue ink then added some purple ink let dry then added some interference violet golden paint with a brayer then some iridescent pearl paint with brayer then i did some scrapping with an old gift card....photo 1 and 2.
I next used some tim holtz rub on's and cover the whole tag. then i added just a little white pen. i look in my old make up suitcase to see what i had stashed away and found the muslin heidi swap banner ribbon, some ribbon from the $1 bins at michael's, burlap paper, a prima banner piece, some paper flowers and chitchat courage sticker from tim holts. I used tim holtz stain (weathered wood) to color the smaller banner ribbon-photo 3.  i got everything layered and glued down...i cut notches and baker's twine on the triangle banner piece then used hot glue to hold that and the flower's in place. i took several different ribbons handmade loops then tied the loops with bakers twine to make the bow.

this will be the other side of the tag eventually- hoping to video it wall i do it for you the saying is found here 

see ya soon....
