For the very first time, I checked out
Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2013 Challenge and I was totally inspired. I went right out and bought a set of his distressed markers and a few additional items and got started on my tag. Here are the results.

Love. Love. Love! |
|
First I stamped, and water colored my images. Also tore the bottom edge, inked edges, added splats to finish this part of the tag, as shown above. Allow to dry. |
|
I added a bit of paint, smashed the ink pad and added some distress stain. If you do not have a craft sheet, wax paper will do. Next, you will also need to spritz with water to blend colors. |
|
Drag piece through paint, stain and ink. Allow to dry or speed drying time with heat gun. |
|
Drag tag through remaining mix. |
|
Stamp over colored tag. |
|
Add large grommet and ribbons. Note. I spritzed the lace and ribbon to make it look more distressed and match my tag. I heated the ribbon to help it dry faster, which also curled the lace. Love the look. |
|
FINI! |

A closer look. |
Don't forget to come back because there's more!
