Love how the tag came out this month. It’s simple but fun.

I stamped the Crazy Birds on the Tissue Tape to create the resist.  Then I added Texture Paste with the Flourish stencil.  At this point I didn’t think the tag was going to turn out, but I kept working on it.

I used Distress Inks to add my color instead of the stains. Once this step was complete, my tag was starting to come together.  I decided to add a touch of color to the Crazy Birds by adding dimensional hats from the Crazy Things stamp set.

I stamped each hat twice and fussy cut them out.  The second hat I just cut out the brim. I attached them with glue and pop dots.

For her hat, I also added a gridded ribbon and a small paper rose (made with the Tattered Pinecone die).

To his hat, I added glossy accents on the hatband. I also added glossy accents to their eyes.

I used dictionary pages with the Tattered Pinecone die to create the flowers.

I added a twig for him to stand on.

I typed out my words, inked them with Old Paper Distress ink before attaching them, and  created a shadow around my words with a water color pencil.
