Happy Friday! Well, I’m still working on gifts, which I can’t show you here because my sister reads my blog. What I do have for you today is my project for the Friday Focus on the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog. It was completed earlier enough last night for me to write the post and get it published, but when I went to take pics of the completed project, the batteries were dead. Recharge was needed!
Before I go into great detail on the tag, the Friday Focus is about water coloring the tag with Distress Inks. You can find a step-by-step tutorial on the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog for this process.
Once the tag was completed and dried, the Heart Background was stamped and embossed with Queen’s Gold EP. The image panel was stamped on a smaller tag, trimmed down and then inked and distressed. The woman was water colored with a touch of Worn Lipstick to match the tag. For embellishments, a Grunge Board Heart was inked and the wings were painted with Tarnished Brash Distress Crackle Paint. The Destiny Philosophy Tag was added to the heart with a long fastener and the key is tied to the top with the ribbon.

You must start a “Tag” Company by Sherry, as your creations are always so stunning and never resemble anything made with paper. Ohh ya that is a *good* thing =) They are so precious and unique, I wouldn’t be able to put them on a gift and watch someone rip it apart … no way …. they would be collectables for sure!
WOWZER, Sherry!!! This is one fabulous tag!!! The tutorial is awesome, too….I guess the saying is true…when your good you are very, very good!!!I know that’s hard for a bad girl to hear but ya gotta face the truth sometime!!!
This is gorgeous…simply divine! How did I miss this beauty when you posted it in Dec??! Thanks for the stamping inspiration. It’s just what I needed!
