Using some fun new paper from the Bazzil Basics 'Wayfarer' collection, I made a congratulations card, as there are SO many graduations, weddings, etc., going on right now!
A card made for this months Hero Arts sketch challenge - I used the tag sketch vertically (and added a lot more embellishments!)
I found a package of eight wooden tags for $1.25 at my local craft store, and thought I'd give them a go. Stamped my image with no problem, and colored in using watercolor pencils and water. It bled a bit, but I think it added to the distressed look of the card. I also stamped the tag with the ledger background from Hero Arts with Versamark, and it showed up really well (even though I was pressing lightly).
Thanks so much for stopping in and have a blessed day!
