Started with this:
and aged the tags with the Distress Ink ( I also spritzed half of them w/ some ancient gold metallic spritz stuff I bought a long time ago) and then edged the tags with black ink. I used the inkpad as a stamp because I liked the pattern it made.
Got out a set of clear acrylic alphabet stamps I picked up on sale @ JoAnn's for $.90 (they were being discontinued so yes, I bought all the fonts they had) and stamped the initials and then threaded twine through them so they can be tied on to stuff. Here are the completed tags:
But they needed packaging so I put them in a cello envelope and used some paper from my scrap pile ( because we know we don't throw that stuff away am I right?!) and they're on their way tomorrow:
I hope he likes them! The colors remind me of the wood he works with. OK they also remind me of chocolates.

I think these tags are perfect for the art pieces you are talking about, and I do mean art. I have seen and been honored to receive a few of these well crafted pieces :)
hitgroundrunning, I wondered if you'd see these :) I'm so glad you did since you know the recipient! Thanks for following me.
Thanks Rebekah. I love your blog re-design! So pretty.
Well, since I know who the tags are for, I think they are perfect and I sure hope they are well used.
Love you,
