Today's challenge is to create some kind of tag(s), using any of JustRite's stamps. These tags can be gift tags; tags to label your craft room, office supplies or pantry/laundry goods; treat bag tags; Easter basket tags; or get an early start on your Christmas gift tags! I chose to do more of a Tim Holtz-style tag today:
I used a 6.25" manila shipping tag and inked it with Ranger Distress Inks:
Then I stamped just the hydrangea from JustRite's Plant A Little Love set randomly onto the tag, using Jet Black Archival ink. Next, I inked another tag in the same manner as above and then stamped the full hydrangea center and coordinating border:
I hand-trimmed this image and then layered it onto a black Spellbinders Eyelet Pendant die cut. The hydrangea petals were highlighted with Stickles (you can click on the photo for a larger view):
Martha Stewart's Hydrangea punch was used to punch out petals from the remnants of the second tag and layered together to accent the lower left corner of my tag.
Some of the JustRite design team members also have some samples to helps spark your creativity . . .
Michelle Wooderson created some sweet tags that she adds to her cards:
