TAG! You're it!

 Hi friends!

Tag, You're it!

Today is the start of a new series:  Tags & Techniques!

The idea is to find and create a tag based on a new technique 

or one that you've tried and loved,

create any size/shape tag and mark the back with the name,

 technique, how-to, and any specifics like supplies or colors.

For October:  Ink Smooshing handmade tool!

I know, ink smooshing has been around since the dawn of time!

But this month's technique, first shown by NB Cards on Youtube,

showed a tutorial on how to make your own ink smoosher.

1.  Plastic bag

2.  Paper towels

3. Tape or twine to tie off the top of the bag!

EASY PEASY!

I don't have a video because planning a wedding is exhausting!

I didn't film it!  

BUT here's a quick eyeball look at the smoosher (upper right).

I used Whimsy Stamps products on top of this tag!

The tag itself is made with Whimsy Stamps mini slim tags die set 

and I used 4 distress oxide inks for the base:

Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber and Ripe Persimmon.

I think in hindsight just 3 would have been perfect

but my Type A ADHD self doesn't know when to leave things alone!

The ADORABLE grumpy guy on the front is Grumpin Pumpkins

clear stamp and die set.

Finally, there is a light dusting of a Twinkle stencil in the background.

Thanks for stopping by!
