Recycled Tag

 

Hi, I wanted to enter the challenge at

A Blog named Hero. The theme is to reuse or recycle something in your project. The DT also prefer you to use at least 1 Hero Arts product.

I thought these clothing tags might come in handy, and I had a few snippets of ribbon from the seams of a couple of jumpers. (The ribbon is supposed to stop the jumper slipping off the coat hanger but I always cut it off as it gets in the way!)

I stamped Hero Arts Everything Flower background in Versamark onto some white card and rubbed on some grey chalk. It's a technique I saw here. Donna gave a great tutorial on the  Annabelle Stamps blog. I love the soft outline it gives.

I cut a strip from the image to fit onto the black tag. I added some grey and black shading with my Prismacolor pencils, and repunched the hole for the ribbon.

The butterfly was stamped with black Versafine and coloured with Prismacolors.

I'm also linking up to this week's challenge at  CAS(E) This Sketch 

At Addicted to Stamps & More, the theme is to Make Your Mark with  pencils or markers.

I used a snippet of ribbon so I'm heading off to the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.

And at Flutterby Wednesdays, the theme is to use any winged creature in your project.

Materials used: Hero Arts Everything Flower and Penny Black butterfly stamp; Versamark and Versafine ink; chalk; Prismacolor pencils; sentiment sticker and bling from stash.

Thanks for visiting :)
