I try to post all my little projects here and sometimes I share other fabulous ideas from my favorite artists.

New Altered Tag



Today my challenge was to create an altered tag for a swap at www.swap-bot.com
First I stained the manila tag crunching it up and putting it in a bowl of leftover coffee. I set it out to dry and it had a beautiful texture afterward, to which I applied Distress ink and dropped a little water on it to spread the color. I selected a vintage stamp image from Two Ten Studios, as well as the words and butterfly to create a little collage. After glueing it all down, I finished it with a coat of Glossy Accents and added some Stickles. I hope my partner likes it!
