PA - Tags inspired by Ellen

This wee we've had real treats on the Paperartsy blog, with new designers and some fun with burnt tins (more of that later I hope!)  but at the end of the week, the lovely Ellen was back with a tag flip book using her gorgeous stamps... I had to have a play.

 Followed Ellen's method of scraping the paint down the tag with a credit card, then stamping with a toning archival ink.. this is Bora Bora with cobalt ink.  I used size 7 tags

and London Bus with red geranium ink

added some patterns on thin paper

hmmm this is rotated in my picture file!!  Made some mini tags, to go on top.. I like the one on the left, not the one on the right (forgot some background stamping! )  These are size 3 tags which I layered to black card and cut to shape

 side one... sentiments from one of JoFY's sets

side two.... sentiment is by Donna Downey
