25 tags of december - day 9 by melissa meece
This tag started off as a sheet of Bazzil. I simply cut two rectangles the size I wanted for my tag and glued them together to make my tag a little bit sturdier than a single sheet of cardstock. I snipped the corners and punched a hole in the middle to give it a real "tag" feel. Once my tag was together I stamped a large font stamp on the front using Versamark. I sprinkled gold ultrafine embossing powder on top, tapped off the excess and set it with my heatgun. Voila! Fancy tag in an instant. I then ripped a strip of red Bazzil and a strip patterned paper from the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding line. I made sure I ripped my paper towards me so that the rough edges would show. These edges were screaming to be all inky! I used a square I cut from my cut and dry foam and Vintage Photo Distress Ink to get my papers to have that old antiqued look. I adhered these distressed papers to the front of the tag leaving the top of the patterned paper without any adhesive so that I could slip in my Cats Life Press "Merry Christmas" stamped circle. I finished this tag by using an edge distresser on all sides and inking it again with my Vintage Photo. I spelled out the word nine using the tinsel font in black foil by American Crafts Thickers.
Happy December - Melisser
