I was wondering if the Steampunk Debutante Collection by Graphic 45 would work with the Voyage Beneath the Sea Graphic 45 Collection so that I could make a couple of tags for the mini album I made recently (see HERE<\/a><\/span> for that post). \u00a0While the greens are different, I think the general artistic style and some of the images cross over quite nicely.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

To make this little tag, I used the Diemond Dies Nesting Tag Die Set and cut into my one remaining sheet of this Steampunk Debutante Collection paper with the flying fish in the background (it has the flying man held up by a giant <\/a>hand by a propeller). \u00a0I layered two of the nesting tags with double sided foam adhesive, inking all the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Black Soot.<\/p>\n

Then it was a matter of fussy cutting all the flying fish and inking the edges with a black marker. I then popped them up on one, two, or even three layers of more double sided foam adhesive, positioning them in directions to make them look like they were swimming in harmony in a big school. I think adding all the extra double sided foam adhesive gave some of them the look of jumping\/flying in the air! I don’t know if you can see it in the photos, but I also added coats of Clear Wink of Stella to the flying fish so they have a great sparkle in the light.<\/p>\n

To finish off the tag, I used a bit of black silk ribbon and looped it through a hole I had punched at the top. Lastly, I remembered I had an old metal starfish charm in my stash so I tied a bit of black twine\u00a0into a bow and added the whole thing\u00a0as a little topper.<\/p>\n

This tag is being entered into the following challenges:
\nSimon Says Stamp Monday Nautical\/By the Sea Challenge<\/a><\/span>
\nSimon Says Stamp Wednesday Things With Wings Challenge<\/a><\/span>
\n613 Avenue Create Anything Goes Challenge<\/a><\/span>
\nSanDee & Ameile’s Anything Goes Steampunk\/Industrial Challenge<\/a><\/span>
\nCreatalicious Anything Goes Challenge<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
