Our theme this week over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is to add some texture. I didn't look any further than my recycling bin where I found some lovely cardboard scraps!
Next I scribbled some white text onto black paper with an embossing pen. Then I heat-embossed the text with white embossing powder.
I glued down some text scraps, then I stamped some ruler images onto paper (thanks to Elizabeth Crafts' Measurements stamp set) and glued that onto my tag base as well.
Time for the cardboard! I tore up some cardboard scraps and painted them all sorts of different colors using acrylic paint, then let them dry.
I tore those scraps even smaller and glued them onto my tag. I got out my Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks and circled around the carboard with some orange scribbles. I glued a scrap of polka-dot fabric to the top of the cardboard section then found some random words that I cut out of a book and glued to the front of the tag to finish it off.
