Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Watercolor Tags using Poppy Stamps' Twisted Houses Dies and Dina Wakley's Metal Rimmed Tags

Incorporating watercolors is this week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.  I made some circular tags using Poppy Stamps' Twisted Houses dies and Dina Wakley's Metal Rimmed tags.

I started by cutting some houses out of Strathmore Mixed Media paper using my Sizzix Big Shot and the house dies.  Then I used watercolors to paint them.  Once they dried, I added some white paint.

Next I watercolored onto Dina Wakley's Metal Rimmed Tags and then sprinkled some Infusions on.  I added dots with acrylic paint.

I ended up adding some more acrylic paint to my houses, plus some polka dot washi tape, and outlined them with a black sharpie.  I put some paper scraps in the background that I'd stamped text onto and glued down my houses.  I added dark brown acrylic paint to the metal tag rims and painted the strings on my tags a darker color.  These tags were done!
