I love, love, love tags, so entering a spring-themed tag for MCS's tag challenge was a no brainer! I tried something new by creating my own screens cut out of basic office supply store acetate with some fun Cricut cuts.
I then inked them with combinations of LSG's awesome sprays and Distress Inks. I used copies of amazing vintage papers to cut out the images and just adhered them down with Zip Dry. A final touch with some sentiment stamps and an additional chipboard element and voila - beautiful, layered, collage-inspired tags with bright spring colors and themes.
Cardstock: Petersen Arne
All tags cut from Plantin Schoolbook on my Gypsy.
