Welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Our theme this week is "Emboss It." I decided to use a dotted embossing folder to bring some texture to my tag.
I started by cutting a tag shape using a Waffle Flower tag die and my Sizzix Big Shot. The paper I used is from Spellbinders (Hello It's Me) that I then ran through my Big Shot again with a Swiss Dots embossing folder. Then I rubbed Picked Raspberry Distress Ink over the dots to help them stand out.
Next I added some white paint around the edges of the tag.
I cut some scraps out of Dina Wakley's Collage Sparks 1 patterned paper pad and added that to the middle of the tag. I sewed a circle shape around the middle with a sewing machine. I added blue and green paint and some text paper I stamped. I also glued on some polka dot paper I'd stamped.
When I bought the Hello It's Me paper pad, I noticed it had a clear plastic hang tab at the top. I cut it off my paper pad and colored it with Sepia and Limeade alcohol ink. I also dug out an extra piece of die cut and painted paper from last week's project.
I sewed the tab to the top of the tag and glued the die-cut border to the bottom.
I added a faux metal clip to the side of the tag from AALL & Create's Clipped Mailers ephemera pack. It looks so real for being made out of paper! Then I stamped a "storyteller" text design on the front of the tag using a Seth Apter stamp. I finished it off by scribbling some orange lines with Distress Watercolor Pencils.
