My Creative Altered Tag~SPRING & ART LIFE!

Hello and welcome!

Today I going to share several versions of 

a tag I finally got around to complete.

I have seen so many beautiful altered tags, I thought I 

have got to try it.

I created the first one for the creative tag group on

Sketches4All.

The theme of course is

"SPRING."  

Here is my take:

I started by inking the center tag with several color.

Followed by using a texture medium brick wall.

I added lace around the bottom and began

loading the embellishments on.

I created spiral roses and added those followed

by dusty attic flourishes and buttons.

More Views:

Finally, I added a small card with a stamp;

"FOR YOU."

The finished project was a

shabby chic, distressed altered spring tag.

 ********

This next tag, I smply changed the title

and added text about

"ART".

Scrap/Craft Art Life is all about:

*creating

*photograph

*journal

*inspiration

*memories

*cherish

*timeless

I will be submitting this project for:

*Love To Scrap Challenge #4-Cut it Out 

I hope you were inspired today.

Thanks for stopping by and

enjoy your day.
