simon says stamp monday challenge: midsummer blues

Hi crafty friends, it's time for another challenge over one the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us in last week's Happy Birthday Challenge and I hope you will join us in this week's Midsummer Blues Challenge. This week I created a Mini Etcetera Tag using the new Abandoned Paper Stash as my tag background and selected a piece with a lot of beautiful greenish blue, which I wound up covering up a lot! This paper is so beautiful, it practically creates any background for you! 

 

 

I put the paper onto the tag with Distress Collage Medium, and once that was adhered, I added Opaque Crackle Texture Paste through a stencil and let it dry. Then I went over it with an ink blending tool. I built my "shelf" out of the Pinked and Scalloped Etcetera trims and added some Hardware Heads to it so it looks like it is fastened to the tag. I added a Baseboard Doll that had been colored with Distress Markers and had some Transparent Wings adhered to the back of it. I nestled the doll onto the shelf with Mummy Cloth that was colored with Distress Spray stain and a bunch of stars cut from inky Distress Watercolor paper using the Swirling Stars Thinlits die. 

I finished off the tag with the Quote Chip that says "Use Your Wings" and added a clippings sticker and a Vintage Clip to the top which I distressed to give it a bit of a rusty look. 

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

Thanks for all the great instructions! I love the colors and textures in this. I've never gone 3-dimensional, but I am excited about using this great paper stash for cards. You never fail to inspire!

Love how you've used the trims to give her a stage, and the swirling stars are fabulous, with just a few having fallen to earth! Love this tag.
