Well my first post of the new year could only really be a tag couldn't it!!!
T!m's on the ball with his first tag of 2013, so whilst I'm still off I thought I'd give it a go been as I have most of the supplies and I'm going to be busy from January to June with finishing a college course I started in 2010.
I actually made 2 tags, I used exactly the same colour inks / stains etc for both but thought it would be quite nice to see what they would look like on both manilla and kraft tags.
This is the manilla (the yellowy coloured tag).
And this is the kraft tag which is more of a browny colour.

they both look good but its amazing the difference you can get by using diff coloured base card.

Love them, Sam!
Happy new year and of course we need your tags to start the year off properly x
Good to see you started the year off with tags, they both look great and I love the quote. Happy New Year x
I think the Kraft version does it for me, Sam. I've heard about walnut stain going a funny colour before - weird (and must be annoying).
I always enjoy seeing your experiments, I like the brightness of the manilla one. I have heard about the walnut stain going green, never heard why.
Wonderful pair of tags! You did a great job!
Sending blessings for a New Year filled with creative love, denise :D
Have you tried taking the top off and washing the sponge bit and testing the colour left in the jar? Tim showed how to get the top off in one of his videos recently, just use a knife to help lift it up all the way round...Love your tag though.
Fabulous tags Sam and they both look great to me. Have a very happy new year x
Great tags Sam. It's amazing how much difference the background has made. You've inspired me to get on and do mine too. Hope you have the best year ever. Hugs, Jenny x
Love YOUR tag....

Ooh - yummy kraft tag... what a cool experiment trying it on both! Fabulous take(s) on the tag. Promised myself I'd try for the full set this year... but I'm not this quick off the mark!
