Double tag

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Brenda is "Autumn colours". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.
I made a tag with a difference...



I started with a piece of AALL & Create paper, which I die-cut leaving the top of the die out of the sandwich.
I changed the colours by applying several layers of Distress Oxides using the smooshing technique.
 
The focal points are from the Penny Black Silhouettes stamp set (40-239), I stamped the portraits on white card and the frames onto black card, embossed in gold. I fussy cut both before assembling.

Some Field Snippets and a bit of Washi Tape (AALL & Create) finish the tag(s).

As the size is relatively small, I am thinking this would make a good bookmark, if there are any people left reading physical books...

Snarky Cats tags

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Lynne, is "Traditional Christmas colours". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

I made a trio of tags:


The cats are from the Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz Snarky Cats set (CMS416). I stamped them with Versafine Sand Dune and coloured them with pencils before fussy cutting them.

I cut a base tag and a matching panel with the AALL & Create #27 - Tag It Yourself die set using the 2 smaller die shapes. The papers are freebies from magazines.

To detach the cats from the colourful background I layered them on a small piece of mulberry paper. 


I am entering this tag in the Tag along (and ATCs) challenge.
