Snarky Tag for Creative Embellishments

You know there are THOSE times when you wish you  had said what you were really thinking!  Ha ha, I just love the Big Talk Stickers from Tim Holtz.   So even though I didn't say it out loud, at least I got it off my chest by saying it creatively!  So, for this tag for Creative Embellishments (CE), I chose two of those stickers and used them on this great large CE tag.  There's nothing like a pretty tag with a bit of sarcasm thrown in, right?

CE's large tags are 5.5" x 10".  I love these big tags as there is plenty of room for being creative and embellishing.



I first adhered a piece of yellow dotted design paper to the tag.  Then I adhered a strip of striped paper down the center.  Next I used the Distressed Pattern Stencil and white moulding paste to mask the background with random designs.




I used 2 Postage Stamp Frames that I heat embossed to frame two ephemera cards.



I colored 2 washi tape clusters with Lindy's mist and they dry brused on a little paint and used them as bases for the Big Talk labels.  



Add some flowers and ribbons and that's it!  A lovely tag with a hint of sarcasm!  What will I do with this tag?  I'll probably just keep it and hang it in my studio.  Or I might share it with someone who understands my brand of humor!
