Starfish Under The Sea Tag

I started this tag by scrunching up a piece of old cardstock and then roughly flattening it.  I then inked the raised areas using Stazon Ink in "Cactus Green".  I cut it to a tag shape.  

I then used a die for the central lines from the Stampin' Up "Swirly Scribbles" set.  The other green foliage was cut using a Sizzix die from the "Back To Nature" set.

I then stamped the starfish using a Stampin' Up stamp from the "By The Seashore" set.  I used a Pumpking Stazon ink and then darkened the edges with other shades.

It was then a matter of assembling the pieces.  I used a silver ink on some of the edges and used little metal embellishments and small gem type bling to give a watery/bubble effect.

Fly Butterfly Tag

I started this tag by stamping the butterfly image (using the butterfly from the Stampin' Up set called "Touch Of Nature") onto a prepared Panpastel background and then masked the area so that I could stamp the script background (using Crafter's Companion script cling stamp).  

I then used a couple of Tim Holtz stampers anonymous stamps for the honeycomb and heavy black dot shapes. I then stamped the flower (below the butterfly) which was part of a "Little Claire" stamp set, sticking embellishments to the centres.  The edges were inked with various shades of ink and the stickers "Fly" were added.
