Tag you are it!

I made this tag to hang under the "Book Club" sign for the Altered Book Club (or ABC) that meets at the Picture This every second and fourth Tuesday of each month to create, chat and learn about the Altered book craft.  You should see some of the awesome things the ladies are working on!  Check it out the next time they get together.  March 9th should be the next date they get together!

Materials:
 Tag
Computer font
Ink"Tim Holtz Distress Ink: "Vintage Photo"
Rock Candy Crackle
Walnut stain

I printed the words on the tags with my printer....I know, cheating....but I like this font for the words....anyway, spritz with water and wrinkle up the tag, rub the ink over the top and you get the nice highlighted cracks and wrinkles on the tag.  The butterflies are punched from the bookcover I used a couple days ago...leftovers never go to waste at my house......and I crackled them and inked them up.  A very simple tag, but I needed the words to be clear to read and the tag is only about 2x3".

Have fun, get inky....create!
