Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Man of Faith Tag using Seth Apter's Gridiron Die Set

"Masculine" is this week's theme over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.  I made a tag paying homage to faith-filled men and used Seth Apter's Gridiron die set to create textural elements.

I started by cutting the tag (from Waffle Flower) and the fabulous Gridiron shape.  You can't beat a Seth Apter die!

I glued the gridiron piece to the tag and painted it.  I also sprinkled on some Infusions and spritzed that with water.

I wanted to introduce another color, so I cut a slide shape from Tim Holtz's Specimen die set and added some purples into the mix.  I took another piece of the grid shape and painted that as well.  I also found a scrap paper that I tore into another sort of frame shape.

All that was left was assembly!  I glued the layers together and added an image from Tim Holtz's Photobooth set as the focal point.  I added some scraps of black fabric, then typed a sentiment to finish it off.

• Seth Apter Gridiron Die Set
