Day 27 Tags

I used acrylic paints and oxides to create the backgrounds.

I used a mix of modeling paste, textured sand paste and crackle paint.

I used distress stickles on the hat and the eyes.

A brad for the eye and the tash.

Textured sand paste through a cogs stencil.

A gem crystal for the eye and another brad for the tash.

Day 27 of the #fabtag30day challenge.

Day 26 Tags - Over to the dark side

Day 26 of the #fabtag30day.

Day 25 - MDF Tags

I firstly gave them all a coat of white gesso followed by a coat of white tinting base. Then I applied a few colours of DW paint.

I added some stamping with black and red stazon and white gesso.

Next I added an image, but I didn't want to cover the whole of the backgrounds.

Finally added a bit more colour and some fibres.

Day 24 Tags - Embossed and Steampunk

Backgrounds coloured with oxides and embossed with a clock/time folder. Die cut cogs and TH film added.

And I simply just added a paper doll to each tag as I didn't want to cover too much of the background up.

Day 24 of the #fabtag30day challenge.

Day 23 Tags - More Steampunk

I created the backgrounds using patterned papers, gesso, a stencil and distress inks.

I put a few bits and bobs together and ended up with these finished tags above for the #fabtag30day challenge.

Day 22 Tags - Embossing Folders- Steampunk

Used sticky silver tape over the tags and them embossed them through a folder.  Painted them in black gesso and then wiped back the access.

Then I started playing around seeing which images and embellishments went together.

And this is what I ended up with.

Day 21 Tags - Free Artymaze Downloads

Thank you to Andrea for the free downloads used to make these tags. I was just playing around with the layouts here.

And here are the finished articles. 

Day 21 tags for the #fabtag30day challenge.

Day 20 - Hangy Tags

Another set inspired by Tracie.  She calls them hangy tags.  I think the one on the right needs a bit more chain as it looks a little tight on the photo.

Close up of the hangy tag, eyelets and chain.

And for this one I used the T!m Holtz ball and chain chain.

Day 19 Tags Inspired by Tracie F

After watching one of Tracie's youtube videos I came up with these for my specimens.

Added them to double tags with some specimen labels.

A little close up.

These are for the #fabtag30day challenge, and we are currently on day 19.

Day 18 - More Tag Clusters

Firstly I arranged the leftover tags from yesterday into more clusters.

Again I started to play around with some vintage ephemera.

And finally came up with these.  I really enjoyed making these, especially the upside down ones.

So these are for day 18 of the #fabtag30day challenge.

Day 17 Tag Clusters

The prep work.

Then I started to pull a few things together.

And here they are, all finished.

These are my day 17 tags for the #fabtag30day challenge.

Day 16 Tags - Vintage with a Dangle

After watching Andrea's day #8 tag youtube video I set off on a mission.

These are for the dangly bits.

I started putting some clusters together on the two tags.

Completed tags, three tags on each tag.

Second set completed.

Two butterfly themed sets.

And the last two.

Used a couple of mini safety pins for the bodies.

I put some threads behind this butterfly.

And some more threads around the mini postcard.

And these threads are wound around the tag.

And the same with this one two, it's wrapped around two tags.

And these are the tags with the dangle.

And the flower and number embellishment.

And this one looks like a rose inside a brooch casing.

And lastly all eight together.

So these are for day 16 of the #FABtag30day challenge.

Day 15 Tags

A second flurry of oriental tags for the #fabtag30day challenge.

And I decided to change colours, blue and white and black embossing.

A smaller one.

More gold embossing on a black tag, with a hint of red and blue.

Heavily gold embossed in oriental script.

Vellum on the background tag and a stamped image with black embossing on gold paper.

And finally another blue one.

We are half way through, just another 15 days to go!
