Here’s how ya earns it. Leave me a comment, nothing in particular today. However, if you feel like tellin’ me a story, I’d love to hear it! I’ll pick a winner and post tomorrow mornin’.

Before I get to my card today, I do have to tell you that there is no Blogger Challenge this week. A winner for the month of July will be announced later this week however, so stay tuned!

Now, here’s my card. Well not really a card, but a tag! I was in a taggy mood last night and I couldn’t wait to try some of the techniques I picked up while watching some of the demos in the Ranger Booth at CHA.

I started with a white shipping tag and inked the tag with Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. The edges were lightly distressed and then Black Soot was applied to the edges, softly blending it onto the tag. I misted then misted the tag with a Dusty Concord and Pearl Shimmer Mist, dabbing away the excess with a rag. Once that had dried, I sprayed a little water into my hands and then shook them over the tag leaving water droplets on the ink. The image was stamped in black pigment ink and then embossed with Disco Black embossing powder. I stamped the image a second time on white paper, embossed it the same way and cut out a few of the bats for layering on the tag. I love the way some of them hang over the edge. For the sentiment, I misted another shipping tag with the same Dusty Concord/Pearl Shimmer Mist and dabbed most of it away to leave just a hint of the color on the tag. The sentiment was stamped and embossed with the same embossing paper. The sentiment is attached to the top of the tag with brads and the ribbon was tied to a piece of hardware, fringed and frayed and then melted with a heat gun.
