This month's tutoral for Tim Holtz's 12 tags of 2015 looked so pretty that I really wanted to have a go.
Making the background with the alcohol inks was really fun - although my first few attempts had way too much of the metal mixative (I'm saving them for Christmas cards though as it was silver).
I thought I'd use Library green archival ink to pick out the embossing paste and then used green florist wire to attach the word band (it's really a bit thick so I had a few problems winding it tightly around the fasteners). Bundled sage spray stain on the tag seemed to play along with the green tones.

Your cards are so lovely, Sarah. You have an amazing talent, and I really enjoyed peeking at all your sweet art. I'd love to have you stop by and share your talents with us in our weekly Anything Goes Challenges at Word Art Wednesday. You can win some great prizes, and we'd sure be blessed to have you join us.
