Tag It!

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  THINGS WITH WINGS  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is:  TAG IT

I've made a couple of birthday tags for my sons' birthdays. 

 They are such gentlemen, so these Tim Holtz gents are perfect. I tried to add in one of their interests with what I had on hand - coffee for one, and collecting in nature for the other. They have so many interests, many of them focused on the outdoors.

I began by stamping old letter writing on the tags to build a background. I love this stamp for adding background interest!

Next, I blended several paint colors over the tag. 

I added some copper metallic paste and laid out my dies and tiny tags. I went for dies I had already cut and had on hand. I have to do more of this because it makes easy when creating to just reach for the dies. 

 I added a coffee cup and some gears on one tag. ..

 and added a tiny tag with happy birthday, and a label with filed and the year.

On the other tag, I added an insect, and collect label. along with some gears. 

A couple of tiny tags with happy birthday and the year finishes this one off. 

Two gents are tagged for their birthdays!
