Katzelkraft Tag - Simon Says Stamp and Show - Anything but a card


Hi everyone, hope you had a good weekend and a Happy Mother's Day if you're here in the UK. A tag to show today for the Katzelkraft blog and also for Simon Says Stamp and Show where the challenge is 'anything but a card'.

I've used the gorgeous 'Paris KTZ35' plate to make my collage stamped tag which has some wonderful stamps with a Paris theme and lots of options for postal type creations. A gorgeous large text stamp is included which stamps very crisply, another set that will get a lot of use :D. I've stamped and sponged with distress inks and it's looking very green :D, not great light to photograph and all the wild honey ink isn't as bright as it is IRL but the shimmer shows up :D which is something! I spritzed with a green and a cocoa shimmer mist for some sparkle. The metal corner and die cut hinge were embossed with Ranger distress embossing powder in vintage photo and I inked some ribbon to match the colours in the tag.

The stamps are available at Katzelkraft Stamps in France and in the UK at The Craft Barn.
Have a good day today.

I just love the look of this gorgeous tag Chris. It looks like it was fun to make too. Even the curly ribbon is a great match up.
