Alphatags

I belong to the Chocolate Baroque Guild and throughout 2012 we are having an Alphatag swap, Each month we have to make either 2 or 3 tags working our way through the alphabet so that by the end of the year we will have 26 tags to make into a tag book
I have made my first tag which is A for alphabet


The tag measures 8 x 16 cms and is cut from some card from my stash
The background is done using the direct to paper technique using a selection of versa magic chalk inks
The letters are cut with my cricut using some scraps of paper and
The small letters are added with a permanent black pen

When I saw this earlier it sent me scurrying for my VersaMagic chalks & thanks to you I have several pieces of background paper with several ideas in my head. I do like the way you have blended those colours & the softness of the whole plus the way you picked out the mauve for the ribbon. This is such a lovely idea for the first tag & I like the way you got the whole alphabet in with the small letters - not easy to space out in a balanced manner as you have. I sold my Cricut as I just could not get on with it at all.
Hope you have a good week.
