July Tag Swap

The theme this month over at http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/ is Holiday.

I've used Paper Mania All Aboard papers mostly on my tags.

I had some little brown paper bag in my stash which I've filled with tickets & tags so my swap partner's can reuse them if the wish. 

I've got a die by first additions which cuts out glasses Anchor & camera & ties in well with this theme.

To make the glasses look a bit more like sun glasses I've covered the pieces which would be the lens with Glossy Accents & I'm must say they really do look like the real ones.

To finish off  the tags I've used again items from my stash swirls & leafs die cuts.

The paper used for this Lo is plain Kraft card for my back ground & papers from 3 bugs in a rug .
The stars had been cut from white card & then coloured & edged with Versa magic sea breeze chalk ink, & Brilliance pearlescent Rust ink. I used a paperartsy line stamp on the stars also.
