Today I've had a real progression of Art day. I started by just playing around with a new technique that I saw on UKsrappers. I found a thread that linked to this YouTube video, and using this technique I made this tag using Ranger Broken China Distress Ink brayered onto Birds and Swirls folder before running through the CuttleBug.
Then I found another challenge blog for altered tags that has just stared called "Tag Your It" and it's first challenge is called "Shades of Blue". So I used
my embossed tag as the base and added a stamped image done with Crafty Individual stamp, attached different colours of blue ribbons and ric rak with coloured staples to the side and a metal flower inked stained blue with alcohol inks.Once I completed the Tag, I decided to use it for another challenge as well. This time the CPS #58 sketch and challenge to make a Hybrid card. A Hybrid card means that you used both your usual paper craft supplies as well as downloaded digital elements that are printed off and used together. To make my Hybrid card I used free digital downloads of Shabby Princess Moody Blue background paper and ribbon and Jessica Sparage Echoes of Asia Flowers. Then added my paper element of the "Shades of Blue" Tag.

And thank you so much for taking part in our first challenge :)
LOL!! I was looking at your original tag thinking "Ooh, that's lovely" then I saw you'd added to it and thought "Cooor!!" then I scrolled down to see the finished piece and WOW!!! I think this is fabulous!!! What a brilliant idea! And you say you don't do tags????? I beg to differ!

Great tag! I love that technique with the 'bug folder, although I haven't tried it with Distress Ink yet. It works great with Brilliance. Your finished tag is really gorgeous, great use of all the elements.
