The base for my tag is my collection from 7 Dots Studio called Nature Walk. I've stamped in the background with the Waybill/Invoice background in Versamark Smoky Grey. I've also used the Versamark as an antiquing ink around the edges using the Imagine Crafts sponge applicators. HOW COOL ARE THESE?? Then I distressed the tag edge. I layered some stamping of the Milk Bottle and Flowers stamp in Versamark Onyx Black, and then stapled down a couple diecut elements from Nature Walk.

Then there was a bit of laying with some thread, a clay face, a metal crown and a dymo label maker. Finish it off with a little bit of doodling and hole punch, and this is what you end up with!!!

Please feel free to watch the following project video:

And be sure to see what everyone is up to all week!

Dapper {12x12 : Avery Elle | May Arts | UmWowSTudio}

This week we are swapping between Avery Elle, May Arts and UmWowStudio. I'll be bringing you at least 2 projects using all three, and maybe even 3 projects using all three fabulous companies.

Today I'm kicking of the week on the UmWowStudio blog with Amy Lassiter. If you head over there you can get the skinny on the week including prizes, stops and all the inspiration! {There's also a video over there on altering chipboard with Tim Holtz Distress Paints!}

Let's get to it shall we! For today's post I created this 12x12 called DAPPER:

The base is a super old piece of My Mind's Eye from their Meadowlark collection.

I've layered up bits n pieces of fun things like Chevron Confetti and Arrow Confetti chipboard, catalog cards, paper clips, washi tape, thread, Glimmer Mist, May Arts Baker's Twine and Avery Elle stamps in IMAGINE Crafts Versafine smoky grey.  

This closeup shows you a piece from the Layered Stars set, a reinforcement from the Soar Tags, some bits n pieces from Authentique's Suave line, and a line from the Line of Chevrons Mask by UmWowStudio. There's also some grey thread, a few found pieces, and more of those adorable paper airplanes from Avery Elle. 

SO! Be sure to head over and see what's up!
