Just yesterday I realized I hadn’t done Tim’s April tag of 2012<\/a>. \u00a0I usually don’t make tags, but use the techniques as a jumping off place for my own card or scrapbook page. \u00a0Being limited on time and focusing my crafty energy on other things, I just went ahead and did the tag.<\/p>\n

\"april-tag\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used the bird from the\u00a0Caged Bird<\/a>\u00a0die. \u00a0The branches are from an old Sizzix die called Ivy Border. Love my\u00a0Sizzix Big Shot<\/a>. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The bird, branches and leaves are colored with\u00a0Broken China<\/a>,\u00a0Faded Jeans<\/a>,\u00a0Walnut Stain<\/a>,\u00a0Peeled Paint<\/a>,\u00a0Vintage Photo<\/a>\u00a0and Wild Honey<\/a>\u00a0Distress Inks.\"\"<\/p>\n

\"april-tag-close-up\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The oval frame is from the\u00a0Tim Holtz Urban Grunge<\/a>\u00a0stamp set. \u00a0He used an embossing folder of the same design, but I just clear embossed it for a similar look.<\/p>\n

\"april-tag-bottom\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sentiment is a rub-on I’ve had for a while. \u00a0It probably would have been a good idea to let the distress inks dry more thoroughly before trying to apply it.<\/p>\n

This tag was quite simple to do and came out rather pretty. \u00a0It will likely get made into a card front at some point.<\/p>\n

Hope you all have a crafty and creative weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
