Tattered Tag
I started out making this technique tag very simple. Then well...let's just say it is hard for me to do simple. I first misted over a screen, then added film strip and stamped words. From there everything is layered and misted throughout with Glimmer Mist.
Here are a few of the items I used to make this 6" x 3" tag:
Graphic45: Communique Papers
Tattered Angels: Glimmer Mist, Chips and Screens (butterfly)
Tim Holtz: Dimensional Pearls, Film Strip Ribbon, Rock Candy Stickles, Alcohol Ink
Embellishments: Metal corne, dragonfly and coin, ribbon, prima flower, bottle cap
Unity Stamps: stamped words
If you leave us a comment telling us what your favorite piece of Graphic45 paper is, you could win the entire collection. A winner will be announced by December 5th.
Happy Crafting,
Candy Rosenberg











Well...it's really hard to pick just one as I find myself in love with Christmas Past at the moment...and of course, there's Baby 2 Bride and Communique...Domestic Goddess & Times Nouveau...but I pick the Fashionista Perfumeries' paper!
Thanks for the chance!

I love that tag! It is so sumptuous! I also have a hard time doing anything simple. I love detail and layers, so this is just right up my alley!
How can you ask us to pick a favorite paper, so very hard to do. I love the entire Graphic 45 line of papers, my absolute favorite line is Renaissance Faire. And if I must pick my favorite sheet from that line, it would have to be "Renaissance Faire". First, I'm a big lover of classical art, so this is already something I'm drawn to, but I love the collage look of this particular sheet.

This tag is absolutely divine ! oh how I wish I had that kind of talent. Graphic 45 papers are all so beautiful and because they all blend together so well it makes it much easier for people like me ! If I have to choose one it would be Glad rags from Times Nouveau as that aws the first piece of G45 I ever saw and I was hooked !

Yup, definitely can relate about it being hard to keep things simple. But, man, your tag is just gorgeous! Loving the layers and that image inside the butterfly. Gorgeous!
My fave paper has to be Pen in Hand. Followed closely by Typography. But then again, all your papers are just gorgeous!
Thanks for the chance at a giveaway! =)
