Now this is a simpler Hangtag Magnet I’m calling Explore. Not quite as busy as the others I’ve made so far, but I like the subtlety of it.

Using the small sized plain hangtag, measuring 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″, I first used my usual grungy sauce mix to get the tag grungy’d up. It always creates that aged appearance that I love so much. I also used some walnut stain Distress Ink to distress the edges a bit. Then I stamped on a mesh background texture in brown ink, and added the key image in black ink on top of that; and I stamped on the word explore in black ink as well. I finished it off with the two golden-colored rhinestone gems on the key.

Love Hangtag Magnet

Have been busy working in the studio making art for me, and for the upcoming online store. One of things I created was something new for me: Hangtag Magnets. They are magnets made from altered hangtags. I am loving them! The first one I created is called Love. I’m also using this for today’s challenge at Tag Tuesday, the theme of which is Faces.

I started with a plain hangtag, which is 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″, and I grungy’d that up with my own grungy sauce mix. Then I used a soft copper metallic ink and stamped on a doily design for some texture. Next I distressed the edges with some Distress Ink. Then I took an inchie size vintage photo of couple and adhered it to some distressed cardstock paper. I finished it off with the word love and a golden rhinestone gem.

I’m going to do a whole series of these…some for my new store, and some just for me (and friends!). So fun to make.
