Tags - Flying Unicorns Coffee and Muse - May

Tag time!  I have never done tags before.  Not a single one. Until some  blank tags came in the May Flying Unicorns kit of the month- Coffee and Muse. 

I decided to stretch a little here and make one bold and colorful and not typical Jennifer vintage style by adding a whole bunch of bright Clearsnap Mixd Media Inx on the edges in Butternut, Schoolhouse, Vintage and Mossy. 

 Using the goodies from the kit,  below are the results of my experiments.   I am hooked now in tags. 


This is my softer tag, a little more tame.  My Garden tag. The background is from a catalog.  I liked the colors and drew from that as my inspiration.  Just so happened that some of the Prima embelishments from the kit matched nicely.

This is my Vintage Bird tag.  I love rich vintage colors, earthy and golden tones. 

So come and play with us at the Flying Unicorns.  You do not need  to buy a kit to join in on the challenges and the conversation.  We are not exclusive like that.
