"Tags" Challenge Continues

The "Tags" challenge is in its second week.  I have had some great entries so far. However, the Design Team is looking forward to seeing some additional entries.

Vicki

Since Lunagirl is sponsoring this Tag challenge on my blog and they have started a challenge on the Lunagirl Moonbeams blog themed "Lady Blue"  I have created a tag with the theme "Lady Blue"  I took two images from one of the  Lunagirl collage sheets  and used one of her beautiful blue backgrounds.  I made part of the background a little darker by doing a repeat printing of  a strip of the background.    I think the diecut is from Memory Box.  It is one a friend gave me to show what she had ordered recently.  It is a perfect compliment to the  small image.

Here is my tag for this week featuring a lovely image from Lunagirl Digital Images .  I loved the regal look she has, I did remove the frame around her.  I printed her twice and did a stack of the bust of the woman with pop dots.  I also added Pearl-EX to the background and to her cheeks, sorry the photo doesn't show it well.  The stamped sentiment is from Hampton Arts and the gold embossed images are from Friskers.  This is all added to a large paint chip from Home Depot, and the color is Firecracker!  I bet she was at one time too.  Black lace, pearls and a ribbon were the finishing touches.

I've got two gorgeous vintage images from Lunagirl on this tag and the pink background is actually digital design paper created by Karen at Lunagirl and offered free on her blog.  I also used sheet music, and more tissue tape and stickers and a butterfly brad.  Tags are fun to make and I hope you will make one and link up to our challenge! 

Petra

For this tag I combined two wonderful images from Lunagirl, the lady and the frame. It looks as if they were made for each other! I layered them on patterned paper which I decorated with some stamping and German Scrap. To finish the tag I added a couple of half-pearls and a handmade tassel from embroidery thread.

Barbara

This week I did a larger tag with the Tim Holtz tag and book plate big z die. edged with gold thin line border stickers by Dazzles. layered the images on gold glitter paper and the flowers with gold brads for centers.

Hazel

For this tag I used one of the Edwardian children pictures, digitally adding 'My sweetheart' and the phrase that says 'A rose speaks of love silently in a language known only to the heart.' The flowers around the tag are from my stash, as is the piece of sparkly netting used for the tie of the tag.

Rene

I created my tag using images from Lunagirl, the sponsor of this challenge. The picture was cut with a deckle edge scissors. Distress Ink sponged over a sequin negative and stick-on lace create extra texture on the background. Ribbon and a pearl add a final touch

 

 

Challenge #70-"Tags"

Thanks to everyone  who entered my last challenge.  There were some wonderful entries.  Now for the current challenge.  It is "Tags".  This is usually a fun challenge for everyone and the Design Team is anxious to see all the tags you create.

Vicki

Here is my tag for this challenge.  I took a couple of Lunagirl images and combined them.  At the top is some twine and a chipboard flower.  The beautiful background paper is from SEI.

Hazel

For this tag I used one of the pictures from Lunagirl labels women called Anita, digitally blending this with a Dezinaworld music rose background. I printed this and mounted it on to a tag that I had lightly brushed with mustard seed and fired brick distress inks. Flowers and ribbons from stash.

Krisha

I chose this very cool, autumn looking frame for my rather LARGE tag!  I generated the frame 3 times, working with Print Shop.  Then added my letters before printing and cutting them out.  I hand shaded the letters for a little depth.  Then I got inky with the tag, stencils and gesso were used too.  When I added the frames I mounted them with pop dots.  I added some gold embellishments along the edges, and yarn for the tie.

Michele

Images from our challenge sponsor Lunagirl Moonbeams are so luscious I really enjoyed using this dreamy vintage lady for this tag.  I've also got a bit of postcard from a Lunagirl collage sheet on this creation as well along with designer paper, tissue tape and flower stickers.  This is an easy challenge to join since you have a lot of artistic freedom to make your tag.  So I hope you will play along.

Petra

Isn't she darling with all the flowers and wishes? This is one of the wonderful Lunagirl Moonbeam images. The white labels of the image are empty, I filled them with birthday wishes and layered the image on white dry-embossed and patterend paper. Embellishments are some machine stitching and an adorable little resin bird.

Barbara

Last minute on Friday before I left for the cottage I printed my images, who would have thought I would run out of colour ink in my printer.....not me. I picked one of the images that was blue tones and coloured it with my spica glitter pens. I cut it and the scalloped base with my small rectangles and the tag I used my Sizzix tag die with a piece of glitter patterned paper. a few pearls and piece of lace to finish it off.

I am so excited to have as my sponsor for this challenge Lunagirl Vintage Images.  Karen carries a great array of images in every type category possible and she continuously adds to her inventory.  They are inexpensive and of great quality.  To go to her site, just click on the logo below.

Following a Sketch

Here is a card I made following a sketch on Christmas Challenges with Sketches.  It has multiple layers of Christmas paper, some die cuts and a digital image I have had for a long time, but I don't but know its origin.   The picture of the two tags are the ones that go inside the front of  the card.

Gypsy Tags

Here are two tags I made for a swap with someone.  I thought that I would post before mailing.  The images are from Alpha Stamps.

More Wingy Things

Here are some additional wingy things to inspire you to join in the challenge this time.  You still have a week to enter. The winner is chosen by random generator so everyone has an equal chance whether you are a beginner or an advance crafter.. Don't forget that the winner is always notified and gets to have her entry in the "winner's spot" at the top of my sidebar for 2 weeks. 

Vicki

I started  to make a quick card when I realized that everyone else posting today had made a tag, but then I decided to go with my tag also.  That way you can see each of our personalities in our tags.  My tag uses two chickens from one of Moonlight Madness' dictionary sheets.  The backgound uses direct to paper distress, inking over a stencil and a small piece of embossed webbing.    A piece of red rafia acts as a ribbon in the hole.                                  
                                                  
Michele here:  I have three stamped tags to celebrate the things with wings challenge. All of the backgrounds are colored with Stamp Zia watercolor jewels. The party cat hat is from Lost Coast Designs. Fairies are unknown. All of the stamps for the winged princess girl tag are from a set by Clear Art Stam

Once you get going with things with wings you can't stop! You still have one week to play. I hope you'll join in!

I have made 2 more little wooden tags with wings, a house and a heart. They have been covered with some ancient book pages, gessoed, and then distressed with TH inks before being glazed with crackle accents. I have added some tiny German scrap figures, some of course, with wings and both tags have butterfly wings in addition.

There are so many ideas for making things with wings, it doesn't just have to be things born with them! Valerie-Jael

Perfect Distress

This is my entry into Studio L3's  Compendium of CuriositiesChallenge on Perfect Distressed.  Another challenge I am entering is Simon's Stamp and Show.  Their challenge is to Show Your Favorite Tim Holtz Stamp.  All ink and stamp are Tim Holtz.

Compendium of Curiosities, Week 11

I'm getting a little behind so i am posting twice today as I want to enter The Compendium of Curiosities, Week 11.  The challenge this week was to do the Blended Batik from Tim Holtz's book.  The challenge is sponsored by StudioL3.  I was slow to join the challenge because I was waiting on my book.  This is a wonderful book showing various Tim Holtz's techniques in step by step pictures.  I am slso entering this in Simon Says Stamp and Show

Tag Tuesday Challenge

This week's challenge for Tag Tuesday is Christmas Colors- Red and Green.  We are unable to use Christmas images for this one so I chose a woman stamp from  Scrolls Work and grape and vine stamps from Stampin' Up.  I was afraid the "red" grapes would not look right, but when stamped on the green cardstock it appears a little closer to purple grapes.  The greeting is a sticker.  I'm really proud of my recent purchase of the lace at the bottom.  I think it gives my tag a final touch.

Face on a Tag

I am  running a little late, but here is a tag I made for Tag Tuesday.  The theme for this past week was "faces"   The stamps are by Scrolls Work.  The TJ Technique I used is Out of the Box or in this case Off the Tag.

Tag Without a Hole

I made this tag without a hole because I may put it on a card at a later date.  This tag has an embossed background which I love and has been highlighted in silver ink.  On it is a stamped cutout made from Artistic Outpost stamps  As an embellishment, I placed a string of pearls above the lace and placed a pearl in the center of the flower.  As a final touch I added a piece of strip of gold trim material that had tassels. 

 I had been out of town last week when these stamps arrived and I couldn't wait to get home and use them.  I think the final piece is pleasing to the eye.  Now I need to decide if I want to use it on a card!

PDC Challenge

This is the color palette for the Play Date Cafe Challenge for this week.  Below it is my creation for this challenge. 

First I made a tags using these colors.  I liked it so much that I wondered how it would look as a card.   The scan does not show  up very well the two shades of green under the blue writtng.  The flower makes scanning difficult.
