Distress Bird Tag

March 16, 2016

True story: This was one of my favorite projects to make lately, and it took less than 10 minutes. Crazy when that happens! From the bird stamp (one I found on clearance at Michael’s) to how fun it was to add bits and pieces from my new embellishment line – this simple formula for a tag is easy to do and a lot of fun!

To make a tag like mine:

  1. Stamp an image with clear embossing ink, then heat set with black embossing powder.
  2. Color with distress ink and a water brush
  3. Use a brown distress ink and blending tool around the entire image. Then spritz with water
  4. Add embellishments (I used Attic Findings and New Leaf- 28 Lilac Lane kits), gold mist, and stickers to complete the tag
