what did you say???

A TAG!!!
Well I'd be more than HAPPY to make one!!!

I started rootin' through my stash...to pull out an OLDIE but GOODIE!!
Nature Grungeboard.

I had a "wonder if this will work" moment.

Colored the grungeboard pieces with various Distress Stains
then I lathered on some Beeswax that had
been melted in a Melt Pot with Project Pan.
Using my Heat It Tool.....I melted the wax to infuse it
into the grungeboard.
When cooled I brushed on various Perfect Pearls
(and it just sticks!!)

Love it when a THOUGHT works!!

For the tag.....
I stamped various images with Archival Inks.
Using my Ink Blending Tool, I covered the tag with various Distress Inks.
With that heated Beeswax....I painted it on the tag.
Infused it into the card with my Heat It Tool.

Are you READY TO MAKE A TAG!!???!?!

I began with a Canvas Corp ~ 12 x 12 Black Velvet Chunky.

Next came the flowers.....

Using the Spiral Blossoms Die, I cut multiple flowers from Blank Canvas Artistic Paper.

I used various Distress Satins,
Distress Reinker Mixtures....mini mister, Distress Reinkers and water.
Finishing off the flowers by spritzing them with
 Bronze and Sunflower Sparkle Perfect Pearls Mists.

I created the anonymous saying using Alpha Parts ~ Ransom and Newsprint.
I applied a base of Snow Cap Alcohol Ink then dabbed on Gold Alcohol Ink.
Everything was adhered to the canvas with Multi Medium.
