Celebrating Summertime

Hello and thanks for stopping by this Sunday morning.  I'm back today with a jumbo tag I made for no other reason than just to celebrate summertime and, of course, to play in Linda Ledbetter's Compendium of Curiosities 2 challenge #13 of Spritz and Flick.   This week, the challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp with an awesome $25 shopping spree!

With Jet Black Archival Ink, on one of the jumbo tags I sell in the boutique, I stamped the stamps from Keeper, one of my all time Artistic Outpost favs.  I sponged the background with several distress inks (Scattered Straw, Stormy Sky and Dried Marigold) to give a feel of a summer evening sky.  The word "summer" was cut with the Word Play die from corrugated cardboard which I then partially coated with UTEE.  The tiny flowers were cut with the Tattered Flowers Decorative Strip die and colored with Dried Marigold and Mustard Seed.  The young lady was stamped on Ranger Manila CS  and cut with a Spellbinders die.  Then the tag was dreged through a puddle of Denim Color Wash and water.  Everything was edged with Vintage Photo DI.
