Tags - Plaid

 Hi!
Today is tag series day.
I really enjoyed making these tags.
I have a stamp set that I got used, I don't even remember
where or when.  It has different styles of stripes, so I decided
to try my hand at making some plaids and these are what
I came up with.

I used different combinations of the stripes and
colors to create different looks
and I love how they turned out.
I wanted to make some tags that were a little more
masculine and I think these fit the bill.
I used Distress Inks and my
MISTI Stamping tool as each of
those stripes is stamped separately.
They didn't really take long with the
help of the MISTI.
These were all stamped on manila tags
 and I use a bit of jute twine for the tie.

Thanks for stopping by today to
see what I'm up to,
I hope you'll stop by again soon.
Until then stretch yourself and
think outside the box.

Hi all!

Is it spring like in your area yet?

Here in Western NY, as of the time I'm writing 

this post, we are just coming through an ice storm.

Luckily it wasn't as bad as they predicted, but still,

it's mid April, it should be more spring than winter.

This is what it looks like outside my kitchen window right now.

That isn't even really snow, it's frozen over ice pellets. 

At least it isn't solid ice, right?!?!

So, today I'm going to bring something bright, cheerful 

and springy to my blog.

I wanted to try out the water color markers that

I picked up a while ago.
I bought an inexpensive set at 

Michael's that were on sale.

I believe they are Artist Loft.

I've seen several videos recently

using markers, so thought I'd give it a try.

I stamped the image onto watercolor paper with

VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

using my MISTI stamping tool.

Using the MISTI is a great help, because the 

watercolor paper has texture and is more difficult

to get a clear crisp image.  With the MISTI I could 

stamp it as many times as needed, with no problem.

I found the I really enjoyed coloring with these 

markers, they blended nicely using an aqua pen.

This is the sentiment I stamped on the inside of the card.

I love how this card turned out and I'll

definitely be using those watercolor marker 

again soon.

Things have been a little hectic around here lately,

I'm working on designing and making the 

invitations for my son's wedding,

so forgive me if I don't get things posted 

as often as I like to.
I'll try to give y'all a sneak peak of what I'm

working with for the invitations soon.

Thanks for spending some time with me,

I hope to 'see' you again soon.

Until then,

try something new!
