Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #30 + Tag Tuesday Circles

This was a really fun tag to make because I got to combine all the things I love on one piece! My tag was created using the Bohemian Layers technique from the latest Technique Junkie newsletter. I added stamps from one of my favorite stamp companies - Artistic Outpost. I used images from their new Think & Wonder and Ephemeral Backgrounds collections, and also a stamp from their Generation Redux plate. My Tag Tuesday Circle element is a Coke cap that I dipped in red paint and then stamped randomly.

My CCC challenge element - Altered Metal With Paint - is very simple, yet very effective. I used a silver Philosophy tag and added red paint. I love the way it ties it all together! It's hard to tell, but I continued my obsession with Glossy Accents by highlighting the hat and scarf on the kids and also the stamped sentiment. It add such a nice bit of shine and texture...I can't believe I'm so late to the party with this stuff, lol!

    Shelly, I subscribe to TJ newsletter but I don't recall that technique. I'll have to go see if I can find it. I think your background is really wonderful, but those coke caps really do add a lot. Love your tag.

    Shelly, I absolutely love this tag! The AO image is darling, and the background is spectacular! I haven't even had time to read my new TJ newsletter yet-- I'd better get on that right away!

    I love the altered metal "IMAGINE" tag, and the way you tied it all together with pops of red is just brilliant. This is wonderful-- flat-out wonderful!
