These canvas tags are so quick and easy to make. If you are anything like me you save the tags from new clothes, especially the ones that come with fabric tags.. now you can make your own.
Canvas on a roll is fairly cheap and can be bought from art shops, you can also find sheets of canvas sometimes in the pound/dollar shop.
Cut your tags, either by hand or using a die cutting machine.
Take a selection of markers and add some random scribbles, or more deliberate patterns... up to you..
Put a little rubbing alcohol into a small pray bottle, and spray your canvas tags. the ink will disperse, if you tilt the tags the ink will run. You can leave it to dry or if you feel there is too much ink then blot some away with a paper towel. You are left with these lovely softly blended backgrounds.
Distress the edges
Then add your favourite text stamps. I used Hot Picks XT03
A bit more stamping..
Final bit of distressing and some eyelets added. I then coloured the 'brass' eyelets with my markers to match the tags.
You could use these on a card, or a scrapbook page, or just add to a gift.
I have a pack of Vibrant Tones to give away. To be in with a chance of winning please do the following TWO things.
