Hello everyone my vintage tags are up on the Meg's Garden blog today,
I
love vintage tags, so today I am going to show 2 tags that I have created using
strips of Meg’s garden papers with pretty vintage beauties collage images with
all the gorgeous embellishments that are available at Meg’s Garden website.
When
you purchase a 12’x12’ paper from Meg’s Garden you also receive a strip 12’ x
4’ of the same paper design. So today I am going to show you an idea to use
this small strip to make backgrounds for tags. Cut the paper strip to the size
you require and adhere to your tag. I used normal size manila tags. Meg's garden website sells packs of various
sizes.
I
gently white washed the paper strip with Tim Holtz Distress Stain Picket Fence to
give them a very shabby look to them and inked the edges with brown ink.
Then
I decorated each tag with all the embellishments that I have listed below. Each
vintage image is cut from the collage sheet; there are many images to choose
from you get 5 different sized images on a 12’ x 4’ strip. Also if you can not
decide which image you like, there is a Vintage Beauty pack (see more details
on the website). I distressed the edges of the images and then inked around
them and layered them on top of a ATC collage paper another paper repeating the
same process.
