We are using a gorgeous summer mood board (pictured below) for this week's inspiration over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. We're also featuring products from Brutus Monroe. I loved the map image on the mood board, which led me to create this tag:
And ta-dah! Our mood board that got me thinking about summer travel fun:
I started with a Brutus Monroe Mixed Media tag, which I glued an old map scrap to.
Next I tore off a piece of my leftover doodled-on scrap paper from last week's bookmark project and glued that on. I stamped dot images onto my tag using Darkroom Door's Open Dots stamp, then blended everything together a bit with white paint.
Next I finger-painted some red dots onto my tag background and scribbled around them using Scribble Sticks. Then I used Paper Rose's Pebble Stack die (the negative space left after I cut the pebble shapes out) for the focal point. I painted my "pebble stack frame" and outlined the rocks with a black Sharpie to make them stand out a little more. I also added pinks and greens to my red background dots.
I glued my pebble stack frame onto my tag and scribbled around the tag's edges with Scribble Sticks. I typed out the sentiment of "Go Forth and Find" and glued that to the front.
