I started out with a manila-colored Tim Holtz Distress Tag. I inked it up directly on the tag using Distress Inkpads and a make-up applicator brush. I stamped the background curly-Qs using a stamp from the set. I stamped it three times across only inking on the first impression.
I used different Distress inks for the cat on a white sheet of cardstock. I stamped the cat's head and the triangles using other stamps from the same set. I die cut the head, body and tail and glued it to the tag. I stamped the sentiment, cut it apart and glued it in different areas of the tag. The stamps and dies are by Stampendous for Laurel Burch.
To finish it off, I used a Gelly Roll pen in "Clear Star" and drew over some of the curly-Qs in the background and a few of the triangles of the cat's body. Then, I cut lengths of yarn and inserted them into the hole and tied them off.

This tag is very cool. I love Laurel Burch stamps and have quite a few earrings from "the old days" when she first came out. In fact, have a couple of coffee mugs that have survived the years, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat tag - love the way you've put it together.
