Tag Tuesday - Letter A

New Players- IMPORTANT - please remember to leave a comment when you post your art tag on Mr. Linky! It sends me an email that alerts me you have posted a tag!

Last week's Vintage Photo tags were a treat to view!

Our tag this week will feature the letter A, and an image of something beginning with A. I know we all think of apple, but try to have an image of something else instead of apple! Let's see how many different ideas we can have for A!

I cut a tag out of a collaged sheet I made a while back, added a painted terra cotta clay angel to an altered round tag, used a letter A from Tim Holtz with some origami netting and some metallic trim. Purple ribbon tops it all off.

Also, I took Becky Garrison's suggestion and created a Facebook page for Tag Tuesday. I will admit right away that I am not sure exactly what I am doing, but here is the link. I would love for you to "like" the page and share it with your artist friends. I think you can upload your photos to the wall page. Anyway, we can try it out and see if it goes places!

Tag Tuesday - Vintage Photo

Very creative postage stamp tags from last week!

This week we will use a vintage photo on our tag - it can be an original or a copy of one. If you don't have one, do a search on Google, there are many sites with free downloads. Design your tag with a vintage photo as the focal point.

The background for my tag is from the mixed media collage I made on Tyvek. I cut a tag size piece out then embossed a tree on it. I inked the tree to make it stand out, added the photo, used a Silver Leaf pen on the edges and then added some torn fusing material. The bottom piece of fusing material was dyed a pale violet.

Tag Tuesday - Postage Stamp

Interesting faces from last week's challenge! Bravo!

This week the tag features a postage stamp. Pick a postage stamp of your choice and design your tag around it. It must be a real postage stamp!

My postage stamp has been around for awhile - it's only 8 cents! George Gershwin was a very famous composer of the 20th century and the materials on the tag show a musical influence and movement. His show tunes were pretty lively and kept the audience tapping their toes!

I'm a little discouraged because it seems our numbers are dwindling. I'm not sure if people are out on holiday, or busy with families, but I hope our number of players pick up soon!

Tag Tuesday - A Face

Hooray for those of you who took the 10 Minute Tag challenge! For some it was easy, for others more difficult; always great to shake things up a bit!

Today we'll be doing a FACE tag. Make  a human FACE (male or female) the largest image and the focal point of your tag. Make the FACE stand out!

For my tag, I pulled out a rubber stamp I haven't used in quite a while, painted in some watercolors and used Spica pens for some glitter. There is gilt around the sides.

Tag Tuesday - Ten Minute Tag

Flutter by, Butterfly! A wonderful group of tags for last week's challenge!

Today's challenge will be a litle bit different - I want you to make a tag in 10 minutes or less. Gather your things together, then start work and stop when you have spent no more than ten minutes creating your tag. Start timing yourself when you start on the tag, don't count the time you spend laying out your materials. Be honest, now! :) And don't be afraid to try!!

My tag is cut from cardstock, with part of a doily on top. Ribbon was added, and a page torn from a dictionary, an Eiffel tower brad and a metal wine label.  Distress ink and a jeweled brad finish it.

Tag Tuesday - Butterfly

Those were some very creative tags for Black and Orange! Such a talented group of artists!


Today's theme is Butterfly - I saw so many on the challenge last week, it gave me the idea!
Make your tag with one or more butterflies, however you would like it.

My tag uses a collaged background from scraps and acrylic paints. I punched the butterflies from gold foil paper and stamped with a script stamp. They were attached over a torn piece from a sheet of music, and bits from the punch are scattered over the right side. The tag is edged with Golden Gel Bead Medium and gilt. 

Thanks to my daughter for suggesting the purple ribbon to bring out the purplish spot - it looks lovely on there!

Loved all the lovely summer tags!! I hope that all of you 

are enjoying your summer!

It's nice to be back making tags! Thank you very much for all of the warm wishes for my health. I am feeling better and I'm thankful.

Today's tag is for the color combo of black and orange, but NOT  Halloween or Autumn related! So, design your tag with anything else, just be sure not to use Halloween or Autumn as the theme.

My tag used distressed inks, chalk inks, rubber stamping, transfers, stencil, scraps from a book page and a brad with a harlequin design and fibers at the top.
