Be Yourself Tag


I created this tag for two challenges this week. I have been involved with the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge and have done every week. This week is week # 23. Inking and Stamping Masks, you can find out how to do the technique on page 59 in Tim Holtz's book.
The second challenge is the Simon Say Stamp and Show. I love shopping at the Simon Says Stamp store and they always have a great challenge so I figure why not give it a go?! This weeks challenge is a tag.
I had so much fun with this tag. All of the stamps and embellishments are from the beloved Tim Holtz. (With the exception of the mini tag and the ribbon) I just love how she looks to be sitting on the round circles. I had a great time inking the image and then I added a bit of Rock Candy Stickles to her wings to give them a bit of sparkle. The ribbon reminded me of the texture of her little red dress. There is something about this one I just can't stop staring at it. I just love it. I want to know the little girl's story... You can click the image to see larger.
