Sweet Face of Time Hangtag

Here’s another altered hangtag creation I’ve made using a less-is-more approach. Sometimes I get a bit carried away with embellishments and details and I forget that it’s OK to just do something simple. Yet when I give myself permission to do something simple, I usually love how it turns out.

I started with a plain manila hangtag that I used my secret grungy sauce mix on to get it good and grungy and give it that aged look. Then I took a fabulous Paper Artsy rubber stamp and stamped on the design, which features a cute child’s face, and clock, and some design motifs. To that stamped image I added a black button brad to the center of the clock image. I also added a black leaf sticker, and finished it off with a black ribbon at the top of the tag.

I love how this turned out. Hope you do too. I will always enjoy doing my busier more detailed projects, but it’s a nice change of pace to do something a little bit different once in awhile. I’m also using this for the City Crafter Challenge Blog’s Little Children Challenge.

I have a fondness for creating things with a Paris theme…probably because that’s one of the cities I dream about going to someday. So this Hangtag Magnet goes nicely with that theme.

Again I started with a plain hangtag measuring 1-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ that I grungy’d up using my special grungy sauce mix. Then I stamped on a Paris-related image using a stamp I got from Paper Artsy. I love their stamps! And this one has a definite collage look to it. I also used some blue Distress Ink here and there to give it just a hint of color (not easy to see in the picture). Then I added the Paris sticker and a blue rhinestone gem. Voila! The Paris Hangtag Magnet.

Au revoir.
