*bottle it*
is this week's theme.
I began with Graphic 45's An ABC Primer as a starting point and covered a tag. Using a Tim Holtz Alphabet Strip, I ran it through my Vagabond with a piece of corrugated cardboard. I really wanted the letters for another project. When I took the letters off, I was left with the negative space and decided to use them as a background for this tag.
After placing two tags from Graphic's An ABC Primer, the alphabet strip was set on top.
Next step was to stamp the little girl image from Primer 1 Cling Stamp Set. I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored her in with Copic Markers before popping her up on the tag.
Thinking *reading, writing and 'rithmetic, I bottled one of Tim Holtz Idea-ology pen nibs and then added an Idea-ology Memo Pin with a stamp image from An ABC Primer.

Nancy, your pocket tag is so precious. That G45 paper is darling! I love how you cut out the little girl and overlayed her on the tag. The little vial with the pen nib and the memo pin looks perfect ! Beautiful tag! <3 Candy
