Colonel Mustard {Tag Make n Take}

Hi folks! DeeDee here today :) 

There's a local crop by the Scrap Society every four months and we've been lucky enough to get on board as a sponsor. We do a make n take and bring some of our wares to peddle. It's great to get better connected with the community and share our love of rubber stamping with a wide audience.

Well they just had a crop this past weekend and I wanted to share the tag we did as our make n take! They always center their crops around a theme, and last weekend's was the game "Clue." So I put together a sort of funny whimsical take on Colonel Mustard!

We started with a cream colored tag of Bazzill Cardstock. It was stamped in Distress Marker with the Bingo Card Background and the edges of the tag were distressed with Walnut Stain distress ink.  The next layer is made of the Pointed Pen Tip stamped in Archival ink by Ranger, an UmWowStudio star confetti mask, Gauche Alchemy washi tape, Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels and the Whimsical Man With Whip also in archival ink.

To finish the tag I balled up some black thread (Thanks for the technique, Amy!), fussy cut our new Admit One Ticket and glued down a Geo Tag from UmWowStudio's Arrow Confetti pack.

VLVS! and Tags

Hey folks!! DeeDee here :)

Hope your weekend went well! We had some amazing projects over the weekend so if you haven't seen them be sure to go back and look!

Today I'm sharing a set of tags that debuted last week on the May Arts blog. I recently go take a trip to the coast of California and introduce my son to the Pacific Ocean!

To commemorate the event I made this set of tags:

 I grabbed some of my all time favorite VLVS! images:
