Making Tags

I have this shoe box sized plastic tub full of tags.  Many of them I die cut from found at the YSM hanging file folders.  They are made out of cool stuff...tough.  But rather dark too.  But, I had the die cutter tag die so cut lots for future use.  Well, here I am in that future, like over three years later, lol.  I decided to make some tags to tie onto my journals, and since I was in the mess... you know me...I thought I might as well make some others to package to sell at the farmer's market.  I ended up with almost twenty pkgs with ten tags in them.  I thought you might like to see them.  I used inks, stamps, bleach on the ones that would lighten.  I like the little ones to tie on my journals, and the others I will find a use for, I am sure.

The brown ones are stamped with bleach.  The two top birds are manila tags, the greenish ones started as manila tags too.  The gift for you tags I have had for years and years and I hoped that some added color and stamps would make them more appealing to me.  I love my new bird stamps acrylic stamp set.  You can see it has a swallow (kind of my trademark, lol) with swirls on the lower left card.  This was fun.

Now, I am painting a small trunk to put all my creations in to take to the market.  I hope it turns out looking cool!
