Be Who? Be You!!

Good Saturday to you all! Getting ready to go on a run with hubby and then spend some quality time with the family. It has started out as a beautiful day. 
For today's post I wanted to do something for bright and cheery (again) teehee!

I am entering this tag into the following challenges:

The Octopode Factory  - This week their challenge is "Tag Your It".. do something on a tag or with a tag.

Simon Says Challenge Blog - This week's challenge is "Anything Goes"

I started with a manilla regular size 8 tag and sprayed with two colors of Dylusions sprays. Love these two colors together.

I then embossed parts of the tag with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Once that was done, I used a few coordinating colors of distress inks to go over the raised portion of the embossed part.

 I used Perfect Medium and clear embossing powder over the raised portions in order to make them a little shiny and stand out.

I used Archival Ink to stamp some flowers into the lower corner of the tag. I also used some distress ink and a stencil in the upper right corner of my tag. 

I grabbed my favorite white gel pen and went over portions of the embossed and stamped images.

For my sentiment I used Tim Holtz Alpha Parts Letters

I printed out my Octopode Factory image (Whimsical Bee) onto card stock and colored him with distress markers.

Adhered him to my tag and added some ribbon/yarn and it's good to go. 

I really love the way this one came out.

Thanks once again for stopping by. Time for me to go get some things done.  Have a wonderful Saturday my friends.
