Tag Tuesday Double Tagged

Sheesh! It's been forever.... first I was busy, then I was sick (just a nasty cold, but it lingered and made me extremely fatigued), and by then my mojo was gone.  I still haven't found it, not even a hint of it.  But I had to do *something*, so I inked up some new stamps - Artistic Outpost's Think and Wonder plate - and entered Louise's Tag Tuesday Challenge, which is to put a tag (or tags) on our tag.  Very fun!

This did not turn out at all as I'd planned (and saying that I even had a plan is very generous!).  The background is paint on vintage text, distressed and stamped with a Stampington swirl.  The image and words are from the AO plate.  I colored the girl with pencils and Copics.  The rest is ribbon, rub-ons, pearls.  Not happy with it, but I've got to try to get back in the game somehow!  You can check out some truly gorgeous artwork over at Kard Krazy. :)

    Jean,
    I think this is lovely, don't be so hard on yourself. I too was not feeling into it, but thought it was better to just do something, rather than nothing. Mine may not win any awards.....but still good to create.

    Well, I think your tag is great. I love the colors and the mix of embellishments that you used. I do know what you are saying about the mojo thing however, but your tag is very nice!

    Your tag is adorable. For not having any Mojo you did a great job.

    I really don't know what you are talking about.. This Tag is wonderful.. I just love it.. But I do know what it feels like to lose your mojo... I lost mine for awhile. But you will get it back..
    It probably just needed a little break!!

    Hugs, Linda

    I think its beautiful and can't imagine how long it took to cut out all those areas around the stamp.
    Glad your feeling better!

    Well, I think it's fantastic! I have that stamp set but haven't had a chance to use it yet. You've inspired me to ink it up!

    Hope you're feeling better. :-)
