The House that StampsBuilt - use a tag on your card

 This first Wednesday in August at The House that Stamps Built  our challenge is to use a tag on a card.  I have been seeing some mixed media cards and thought I would try one, although not my usual style.  


I took a manila tag from my stash and used Tim Holtz crayons I laid down a couple of colors - I then smoothed them out using a baby wipe.  I then stamped my focal image 8120-K Scruffy Puppy and sentiment 8117-E A Dog loves You.  I then used a stencil of just dots and did a bit of stenciling on my tag, then used an embossing folder and ran it through my embossing machine.  Added some dog paw print ribbon and a dog paw print charm tied on with bakers twine.  Used some pretty plaid papers as well as another DP that has dog sentiments.  I poped up my tag on pop dots.  Fun card to make. 

 Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of Christmas in July. So many possibilities on this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do  you will have two chances to win a $25 gift certificate towards stamps. using the challenge of Christmas in July.
