Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Make Your Own Background Tag using Tracy Evans' Quirky Birds Stamp Set

Welcome to March and another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  This week our theme is to make your own background.  We're also featuring products from Tracy Evans.  I used the Tracy Evans Quirky Birds stamp set for my tag.

I created my own background by painting, stamping and scribbling.  I used Tim Holtz's Floral Elements and Halftone and Rings stamp sets.  I added some scribbles with Distress Watercolor Pencils.

While that dried, I stamped and cut out the bird and the hearts, both from Tracy Evans' Quirky Birds stamp set.  I colored them with Distress Watercolor Pencils and paint.

I cut my collaged paper into a tag shape using AALL & Create's Tag It Yourself die set and glued on the bird and the hearts.  I made a crown for my bird and cut out the words "The Great" (if this is the bird king, after all) and glued them to the bird.  I finished the tag off by flicking on some black Dina Wakley Media Gloss.

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

• Tracy Evans Stamp Set: Quirky Birds
