Simon Says - Tag It

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because


The first challenge of the month is when the team showcase one particular brand/company and this month we are all using the fabulous products from Studio Light. You don't have to use their products to join in the challenge, but if you have them in your stash, we would love to see how you use them. We are also welcoming the lovely and talented Fiona Whitehead as this month's Designer In The Spotlight and if you are haven't already visited her blog, please pop over and say hello.
The theme for this week is...
TAG IT
I decorated a Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Etcetera Tag using Studio Light Grunge Collection 8" x 8" Paper Pad, Grunge Paper Elements Frames and Tags and used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Script Mini Layering Stencil from Set 49, Distress Grit Paste with Bundled Sage and Walnut Stain Distress Embossing Glazes to add texture and interest on the background.
I covered the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Etcetera Tag with the Studio Light Grunge Collection  8" x 8" paper using Distress Collage Medium and a Distress Collage Brush.
I sanded the edges using a Tim Holtz Mini Round Blending Tool and Sanding Disk to remove the excess paper and added 3 of the ephemera pieces from the Studio Light Grunge Paper Elements Frames and Texts pack.
I applied Distress Grit Paste Opaque through Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Script Mini Layering Stencil from Set 49 and sprinkled with a mix of Bundled Sage and Walnut Stain Distress Embossing Glazes.
Once the Distress Grit Paste had dried, I heat set to melt the Embossing Glazes.
I selected floral ephemera pieces from the Grunge Paper Elements Frames and Tags pack, sanded the edges and inked with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a Tiny Blending Tool.
I fixed the floral ephemera in place popped up on 3D foam pads and added a twine bow.
I trimmed the sentiment strip from the Grunge Paper Elements Frames and Tags pack, sanded the edges and fixed to the Etcetera Tag.
To finish I added Rub-On butterflies from 49thandMarket Color Swatch Charcoal Collection.
