Mixed Media Collage Tags

More "class work" from my Paint, Paper, Paste E-Workshop.  This time we did tags - very fun, on a nice, doable small scale.  Yes, you just saw this little Paper Whimsy girl.... but I printed out the entire sheet, and she was on my desk, looking at me..... :).  Had fun collaging some metallic gold tissue paper that I had stamped text onto, some pretty spring-colored acrylics, a Tim swirl stamp, and some ribbon and lace.  The "Day Dream" is from Rogue Redhead Designs.  A little stitching on my sewing machine was thrown in for good measure.
Another tag, nature-themed this time, using a lot of the same stuff that was on my desk for the first one.  Added some patterned tape from 7 Gypsies and some Copic-colored flowers.  Just messin' around, havin' fun.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!  Ours started with hail and thunderstorms so strong I thought they were going to blow down the trees around us!  But now it's sunny and a little too tropical. :)  Keep it crafty!

These look super and must have been fun to make. I would have loved to do that E Workshop as well, but only just found it through your blog that I follow now.
Keep up the great work.

Hi Jean
No thunderstorms in my part of the world but gale force winds creating havoc.
Just love your collaged tags. Isn't collage so relaxing?
Looking forward to more of your art from this class.
