Boy Tags

The news I promised to share with you that has me very excited is the news that I am now on the team of designers at Altered Pages. I am absolutely thrilled to have this opportunity with such a fabtastic crafting company. Also it will be such a great focus for me and such incredible products to work with.

I decided to use some of the gorgeous images from the digital download section at Altered Pages. I used the cutest ever boys collage sheet
' 3116 Young man'. I chose two really gorgeous images and they printed out beautifully.

Other products:

vintage book text paper
distress inks
gorgeous
twine
blue marker satin ribbon from my stash
Small acrylic 
stamps from my stash
3d butterfly sticker

I created the tags, cut fish and netting background texture on my die cutting machine (Scan and cut ) using a good quality cardstock.


After cutting the tag shapes I coloured them with distress inks using a sponge blender and then blended well I also added waves with a blue alcohol marker to the top tag. I coloured the fish shape the same way.

The second tag background was made using text paper mod podge onto the tag and then when dried I distressed in the same way.

The images I fussy cut out as I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to cutting out images. I also cut out the stamped images and glued to the tags. I finished off with the twisted twine and pale ribbon from my stash.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
