We had to use a Red Lead image in the tag either stamped or from a collage sheet-other than that- whatever goes! So here is mine....
I used a regular size tag. I dyed them using Tim Holtz Alcohol ink - this was a real challenge! The image is a Red Lead domonio size stamp. I had a "Happy Spring" stamp from A Muse Stamps, tree stamp from Rubber Stampede, and the "art" saying from Paper Makeup Stamps. I punched a scallop oval from patterned paper. I hand made my flower out of crepe paper using a flower punch and adding ribbon to the back and a button for the middle. I cut vintage sheet music for the bottom trim and vintage trim for top. I inked everything up with some brown chalk ink.
I hope everyone likes it. I guess I tend to be a more conservative crafter, but I can now say I have hand-dyed tags - a first! Maybe next time I will add more "artsy" flavor. We'll see!
Until tomorrow friends....

Good for you, Bev, for trying new things and doing lots of swaps. You've learned so many new techniques. I like your tags and the images you used.
