Celebrate You Collaged Tag

 Find all the details about this tag at Scrapbook Adhesives blog with step out photos.

Many of the papers I used  were from Gel Press papers I printed.  There's also some tissue from Tim Holtz that I colored a bit and clear heat embossed over it embossing powder from Seth Apter that looks like bees wax.  The piece with botanicals at bottom of tag is one of those.  It has a sheen to it. 

I also used old music and dictionary pages.  

Those embossed stars are fun!  I used a E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive stars.  Then I added gold embossing powder and heat embossed them.  A few curled at edges which fit with my design! I think the stars didn't stick quite as well to some of painted papers in my collage.  

There 's a bit of stamping across the tag as well. The script and black specks were stamped with stamps from Tim Holtz stamp set The Poinsettia.

This tag was pure fun for me!  I've come to enjoy making collage backgrounds.

Thanks for stopping!
