Week 43 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2018

The prompt for Week 43 is "Sunsets".

For my tag, I started off by stamping the bird which was part of a set by AALL & Create #49.  I added a little bit of green to the bird with Promarkers.  Using Distress Inks I then inked the rocks that the bird is standing on.

I then masked the bird and shaded the background in yellows, orange and pink shades of Distress Inks.  Using a Penny Black cling stamp called "Skyward", I stamped the trees in the background using Versafine ink.  I also inked some of the edges of the tag.

Take Flight Oxide Ink Tag

Today I made a quick tag using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to create a beautiful background that lends itself to a skyscape.  I used a  Penny Black cling stamp called "Skyward" for the trees and a Bee Crafty stamp called "Winged Things" for the birds.  

I created the "Take Flight" title by using a new gadget I received for Christmas.  A Brother P-touch H100LB label maker. It's the first time I've used it, so I'm finding out what it can do, but I can see its versatility, especially if I don't have a stamp with the words I need.  (I used  a tape with black lettering on a clear background, using the "shadow" font).
