“Ink it!” Challenge Inspiration – Tag Set

septbanner21

Today I get the pleasure of inspiring you for your Ink It challenge using at least four of the five fabulous May Arts ribbon you’ve been supplied with. When the Ribbon Lady asked if I’d like to help out I graciously (or fan-girl-esque) accepted because I’m such a huge fan of altering and changing things to make them my own.

I decided to do a tag set that could sit on our mantle and commemorate the first time my son visited the beach this summer. He’s always been a big fan of water and this was truly a magical experience for him.  To ink my ribbons I’ve made faux fabric tape by stamping on the canvas, splattered Glimmer mist, drawn on the leaves with a pen, and dyed with distress stains.
