Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Going in Circles Tag Trio using Dina Wakley's Metal Rimmed Tags

Today's challenge theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is all about CIRCLES!  You know I love me some circles, so I made a trio of tags with lots of scribbly circle-y goodness.


I started with Dina Wakley's Metal Rimmed tags.  I stuck some dot washi tape to them, then painted over the tape a bit with white acrylic paint, then I shook on some Infusions powder and spritzed them with water.  I dabbed the excess water off with a paper towel.  Next I cut out some circles and circle frames using Dina Wakley's Collage Sparks (set 2), and Whimsy Stamps' Boho Basic Stitches dies.  Note!  This die set doesn't actually cut out circles; it only cuts the adorable stitch lines, which I love, but then you do have to cut the circles yourself.  Just a head's up as I didn't realize that when I bought it.


I painted Dina's paper (as I like to do) and then stuck the circle frames and circles onto my tags.  I ended up cutting a second circle frame and used that on two of the tags and the inner circle on one of the tags.  I also added some black and white washi tape from AALL & Create (Poets and Mix and Match).  Then I scribbled around the circles in different colors using Dina Wakley's Scribble Sticks, sets 1 and 2.


I felt like the tags needed a background, so I cut up some Ranger Kraft tags, painted them with white, doodled on them and added other paint colors, then stuck the same washi tape across the bottom.


The last step was to staple the circle tag's string to the top of the Kraft tags to create these swing-able multi-layer tags.




Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
