Dilly Beans Designers and FRiday Challenges is all about tags this week. I don't make a lot of tags so this was really fun.
I used part of the top of the box my computer came and ripped off the first layer to expose the corrigated part. Next I painted it a cream color and distressed it a bit with a paper towel and some SU! inks (Cool Caribbean and Not Quite Navy). I then tied a piece of Christmas Mesh left over from another project around the tag and distressed it with some sissors.
I then colored my barefoot Girlz image with Copics and cut her out. I layered her on top of a cute digi buttons card from Can You Digi It? that I tied some old snowflake buttons on. A scrap wire from an old watercolor paper book, some ribbon and pearls, and some glitter finished it off.
I am planning on tying this to a bottle of wine or some bubble bath liquid and giving it to a friend who is having a very tough time right now.

Okay, I'm not even going to read how you did this. It always blows my mind the things you use and come up with. Guess you're not so NUTZI after all. This will certainly be appreciated by your friend. I suggest bubble bath and a bottle of wine!!!

What a fun tag! Love that you crimped it and the sentiment is great. No unraveling here...just essence of chlorine LOL!

Really cute, Nutzi!!! I love the colours that you used on your little girl!Great card to cheer your friend!! My hair is feeling rather unraveled and looks like your tousled top on the tag - but that is usual for my hair - sigh.
