tag tutorial - Try It - Like It

with Alcohol Ink Markers

I started this series calling it Tag it Tuesday. I’m wondering if I should have called it Technique Tuesday since I am trying to use a different technique each week! anyway…

This week’s tag is made using alcohol ink markers. I first stamped an image with dye ink and then colored it in. To finish the tag off, I chose to ink blend around the edges of the tag.

A close-up of the image shows how the blending brush added a visual texture to the edge.

Sometimes the materials suggest the project. This is the case with my gift tag made with pieces of ephemera. I loved the little girl knitting and it seemed like the perfect idea to make a gift tag to go with a special handmade knitted gift. The little girl image also set the color theme. I only wish she were crocheting because I do that more often than knitting.

Materials:

card stock
the Best Glue Ever
ScraPerfect’s No-Clog Writing Cap™
ephemera
Distress Oxide ink
blending brushes
hole punch
ribbon
the Works Board (to cut the tags)

To begin, I chose to distress the edges of the colored card stock pieces. I cut the mint cardstock tag first, then the mustard tag a bit larger on all four sides. The mustard rectangle was a leftover piece from cutting the tag. Notice the hole isn’t punched yet in the mustard tag so I can align it correctly with the mint piece. These pieces were cut on the Works Board using the guide for making tags.

Here are all the individual parts ready to put together with The Best Glue Ever. You can watch how it was done in the following video tutorial. While the ribbon bow coordinates well, I couldn’t find the right spot to place it on the tag.
