Art Tags and Calendar Journal

I went from a postcard craze to a tag craze.



For no particular reason, just for fun.

I had a postcard with Color Burst watercolor on it that I cut in half then die cut tags from.



There is a die cut on it, misc. ephemera, washi tape and stamping.

   

Die cut flower, washi tapes, stenciling, white acrylic paint and ephemera words and small talk word sticker.

   

This tag is a modpodge of stamping, ephemera, die cuts and washi tape.  The back doesn’t match the front colorwise but no matter.  It isn’t important in the scheme of play.

   

A very quick and easy patriotic tag with inks, stencils and washi tape.

   

Half the year is over already.



June was full of fun with the exception of a reaction to the vaccine.  I read a few books, had lots of art time and a chance to spend a couple of days with friends.



I’ve had a fun time developing my own writing style with brush pens.  Sometimes it’s a challenge to choose a word to brush letter that will fit in the day square.  I’ve used a Tombow dual tip pen for writing.

  8. I am SO far behind visiting your blog, Annie. I absolutely love all these tags and your art never goes to waste. I couldn't pick a favorite, because they are all wonderful.

    I'm in total awe of your calendar. You have always put mine to shame and June in your calendar is no different. I love it.
