Here & Now Fabric Tag

Hi and welcome! Another lovely day and a new great challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog, and it is an anything goes week. I made a tag using a lot of Tim Holtz products.

I sometimes find the anything goes challenges to be hard, since there are so many options. This week, I really let my project be anything goes and just sat down, collected some stash and scraps together and made a tag without much of a plan. I cut strips of Eclectic Elements fabric for the background, frayed the edges and stitched them to the background. I liked the mix of words, numbers and the butterfly.

I set an eyelet in the tag to tidy up the punched hole. The Alpha Parts arrow was painted with Antique Linen and coated with Glossy Accents.

For the focal part of the tag, I layered a bunch of die cuts and papers together. There is a strip of die cut Frameworks, a distressed Alpha card, a die cut flag stamped with a small dancer, two ephemera pieces and a bunch of tiny die cut butterflies. I've been using the Butterfly Frenzy die a lot since I got it. For a sentiment I used another Alpha Part, painted and coated with Glossy Accents.

At the bottom of the tag, I also added some layers, using a film strip ribbon, rub-on words and an Industrious sticker. I particularly liked the lines created with the film strip and the fabric lines showing through underneath.

Join us this week in our challenge and remember that anything goes. It might be you who wins a $50 gift voucher from Simon Says Stamp, drawn randomly.

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely week!
