A Wendy Tag...Finally!

I've not participated in so long at the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo Group, so it was high time! The challenge this month is "something blue with metal", and with 4th of July around the corner, and a remnant from my Tim June tag, I thought this was a perfect opportunity to make a quick and simple tag. This one took about 15 minutes! 
Last month, I was so fortunate enough to be able to take a class of Wendy's, at The Crafty Scrapper, where she taught us several tricks in making this precious Art Journal! One of the several things I took away from the class was using Specialty Stamping Paper more, so I've used it here on this tag.
I applied a few colors of Distress Paint to the craft sheet and misted with water, then ran the paper through it. After drying, I did it again.
I stamped the star image and the sentiment in Jet Black Archival. Doodling and Idea-ology embellishments finished this simple tag up.
 
Supplies:


I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

  24. I keep looking at the specialty stamping paper and thinking that I want to play with it. The effect on this tag is wonderful. Love that your colours have layered rather than mixing. The star stamps just got added to my wish list. This tag is very striking and looks like it took ages to create.
