Whew! Lots of stuff going on in this one little post! The Wednesday Stamper theme this week is metal. Ordinarily that would mean me digging out some crusty piece of junk and making something, but I really wanted to do my Tim tag and didn't have time for both. So, I decided that wee bit of metal on his tag would work for WS too!Most of the stamps on my tag are from Artistic Outpost's Snowy Woods sheet. Really perfect stamps for this tag! Here is my MacGyver moment for today's tag. I have no Philosophy tags. :( But, I do have aluminum tape from my friends at RockCandy Studios and metal stamps! So, faux Phi (Fo fi?) tags was born. Here is a quick tut in case you have the same problem!
Hope that helps some of you who might be like me - wanting to do the tag, but lacking the materials!
well - aren't you clever? I don't have the metal tags of Tims either, but I DO have what you used!
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much - I can make tags tonite!!
Wow this is really stunning.
