How to approach the challenge to be “scratched up” this week? I opted to think about the sand and how scratchy that can be, about how fun it is to age things with distress ink, and just cut loose with a fun tag.
Using paste for my background (ah how I love that texture!) and plenty of inky goodness this one came together quite easily. The metal word strip has paint applied then scratched off – love this technique to add color and contrast to these lovelies.

I love these pretty blues. The little metal “found objects” plate turned out so cool after you inked and distressed it. Awesome, beachy, summery tag! Michelle t
Pretty and summery! With summer winding down and the kiddos going back to school it is nice to have a little piece of summer on a tag!
Beautiful tag May with such a summery vibe! Makes me want to go to the beach and start hunting for sand dollars! Love the textured background! Thanks for the inspiration!

Beautiful, tag, i love the blue tones and nautical stamp that you’ve used! BArbarayaya
I adore how this tag turned out! I am so impressed by the clever stitching you added up the side and love the “wonky” look it has. The color palette makes me drool (in a good way) and I love all the layers of texture you created. That ribbon at the top is perfect, too!
A really beautiful tag, May! I love the colour palette you’ve chosen to use as it captures the feel of summer so perfectly and works so well with the nautical stamps! 🙂
