I don't often make tags but these lovely new blockhead stamps from Happy Daze seemed perfect for this. They are gorgeous quality, and lovely thick rubber. I used the vintage portrait set for my tag. I dabbed distress inks in pine cone, barn door and picket fence onto my craft mat and sprayed with water, (I think the technical term now used is smooshed) the tag across the ink. Then I randomly stamped one of the stamps from the set in archival ink on the tag. I used an old book page and tore to fit and then stitched it onto the tag. I stamped and cut out the vintage portrait and coloured with distress inks and sewed onto my tag. Adding some flowers, jewels and ribbon from my stash to finish.

Love the stitching on this and the splashes of bright colour. I don't make tags often, either, but have had a sudden yearning to do some this week - when I've finished doing my room... x
