Double Trouble Crazy Cousin - Final Week for August

Well, it's my final week as the Double Trouble Crazy Cousin for August and here is our recipe for #224 - Scrapper's Gorp you:

I really enjoyed playing along with the Double Trouble family this month and would like to extend my appreciation to them for having me!  Here is my final project:

My papers are from Unity Stamp Co. called The Soft Side of the Fence - I used 3 different papers from the same pack, 2 colors (yellow and green), and one image. I followed the TSOT sketch and included the Twisted Sister's twist of stitching on my stitched edge circle die (Mama Elephant).  My cow and sentiment stamp are from a Stampin' Up! set called Wild Bunch - stamped with Versafine Black, embossed with clear embossing powder, and colored with Copics. I fussy cut the cow and attached with foam tape. I die cut the sentiment (Jaded Blossom Mini Tag Dies set) and attached with brads.  The die cut balloons are from a set of birthday dies I have had FOREVER and cannot remember the manufacturer but it was a big company like MFT or something like that. If you know, please tell me so I can update!  Thanks!

Spell on my Heart Tag

 Happy Friday! Today is my 33rd wedding anniversary - I won't say "I wouldn't change a thing" but I definitely wouldn't change who I married!  ;)  We make a good team, me and Jeremy, and we work hard at it!  We got married as babies, just 22 years old - of course not realizing at the time that we were babies... LOL

And a more recent one:

..........................................................................

On to the reason you're here - I'd like to enter the tag below into the following challenges:

Passion for Markers #852 - Ribbons and/or Bows

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Just Us Girls #838 - Anything Goes Stencil Week

I used the Mid Century Star Mask stencil from the August release at A Colorful Life Designs in reverse fashion for this little tag. I had a scrap piece of watercolor paper that had some leftover ink on it in a shade of purple, so I let the stencil sit and dry on that and then used the Tag Trio Die from Gina K Designs to die cut the tag. I sponged the edges with black ink and stamped the sentiment directly on the tag. I stamped the witch (both from Mama Elephant's Bewitched set) out separately, colored her with Copics and fussy cut her. I attached her with foam tape and added some rhinestone stickers and a ribbon tag. Peace.
