This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme is alcohol. I don't drink alcohol, so I opted for the alcohol ink option. I made this tag using alcohol ink-colored paper scraps and some Dina Wakley ledger paper.
I started out with some alcohol ink blending. On the yellow and pink combo, I also spritzed on some Dylusions Lemon Zest spray ink.
I tore and paper-punched some circles out of my alcohol ink-colored papers. I used a 3/4" paper punch, which is a pretty handy circle size if I do say so myself. Then I cut a tag out of Strathmore Mixed Media paper, cut a second tag out of Dina Wakley's ledger paper, and glued the ledger paper tag onto the Strathmore Mixed Media paper tag for stability.
I glued my alcohol ink-colored scrap to my tag and started smearing on acrylic paint. I used some Distress Crayons to smudge some yellow/orange spots. I did some doodling with a black Scribble Stick. Next I punched out more circles and tore around them to create little circle frames.
I glued the circle frames onto my tag, then stamped and cut out the words "We Rise" from Dina Wakley's Everyone is Welcome stamp set. I put it all together, spritzed on some Night Glossy Spray and this tag was done.
