I recently did this tag as a workshop and had brilliant results with the participants finished creations which look amazing. (See the end of the post).
The background started off as a mop up whilst making another project using the decoart media acrylics. I love misting them so they are watery and then dipping and drying the card several times to get the watery effects.

So I cut the card to fit inside a size 10 tag then stamped a new (to me) Tim Holtz background stamp called Nordic. I layered on weathered wood, chipped sapphire and gathered twigs distress inks, spritzed it with water and stamped over the painty background. I did this twice to cover the whole piece of card. The I blended bundled sage and stormy sky around the edges before distressing them and blending the edges with ground espresso.
I took the #10 tag and blended the ground espresso all round and then flicked watery chipped sapphire distress ink with a brush and plain water with my fingers and dried it.
I gathered the elements I wanted to use
And everything just came together.
And I wish I could remember which tag belongs to who????
Thanks for dropping in and for leaving a comment, I read every one and appreciate the time you take to do it.

Love the background and the design. Your students made a wonderful bunch of tags, not expecting less with a teacher like you! :-)
What a gorgeous tag, starting from that glorious background (and the Nordic stamp goes on the wishlist!) and perfectly collaged and composed from there, with such lovely vintage layers. Fabulous work from the whole class too.
