We are all about stitching this week over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog. I used my sewing machine to sew some scraps onto my tag and then outlined the whole thing with black stitching.
I started by cutting my tag shape out using Strathmore Mixed Media paper, my Sizzix Big Shot and AALL & Create's Tag it Yourself die set. Next I painted some dots onto it with white paint and Dina Wakley's Dotted Tape stencil. I let that dry, then added some Infusions, which I sprayed with water.
When that dried, I added some paint. I fingerpainted the dark pink dots onto some of the stenciled dots and the yellow is a mix of paint and water that I smeared on top of the tag.
When I looked at it, I thought the colors were too dark and bold for whatever I was going to put on top of it, so I toned it down with white paint. I tore some scrap paper out of Amy Tangerine's Paper Play 1 book and sewed them up the side of the tag.
I tore a rose design out of the book and glued it to the tag and sewed around the whole border. Next I cut and painted a number strip that I made using Seth Apter's Borderlines die set.

I glued the number strip onto the tag and stamped a "become legendary" sentiment from Mama Elephant's Spell Abilities stamp set to finish it off.
