Tag You're It! Challenge #2

The kids' closets are done and I need break from organization projects, so took a little time to play with inks and embossing this afternoon.

A new challenge from Jackie Rockwell has caught my eye. Tag You're It! is all about making Clean and Simple tags based on an inspiration tag from a Guest Designer. For TYIC#2, the inspiration is from Laura Bassen:



My tag is stamped and heat embossed before Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed Distress Inks are blended over the base. A simple black tree silhouette, Label Love sentiment along with black jute and pink Baker's Twine finish the tag off.




I love the way the Altenew Label Love sentiments really look like they come from a Dymo Label Maker when they are heat embossed.




Although quick & simple to make, I'm not 100% sure this can be classified as a CAS tag - what do you think?

In other news, I am really loving succulents these days. This one surprised us with a gorgeous burst of flowers a week ago and they are still stunning.




Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
