Another Tag

Yep, I really like tags. It seems to be the right size of canvas for me.
I made this one for myself.  This tag and the last one were actually cut out
on the Cricut machine.  I gesso'ed and used gelato pens on the base then
covered with Tim Holtz tissue paper.  You could still see the gellatoes through
the tissue.
 
I covered in Mod Podge, used gellatoes again.  Added a clock in the lower
left corner, cut the butterfly on the flower and the lacey element under the
top left flower out on the Cricut.  I took Copics to the stem and flower to add
color, then used ink to edges to add age.  There's a couple of rub-ons, the flower and the '2' added.
I used the Holtz stamp set for the sentiment, but it out and tapped with ink to age.
 
In this one and the first one I used a brown marker around the edges of the
elements and smudged with my finger to add dimension.  Everything was topped with
Liquitex Matte Super Heavy Gel. And I applied a decorative sheet backing (to both tags) to
help cover the back.  Added a bit of orange ribbons to this one and brown to the first
one to top it off. Oh, and on this one I used some modeling paste to add the
tiny hearts.
