I love using Luggage Tags to create mixed media pieces. The chipboard is easy to work with and the tag can be decorated on both sides for two-sided collages. I adhere pattern papers using gel medium on each tag. I added Digi Sheet 189 as the stage backdrop for the image and the butterfly from the sheet as an accent. I love the sweet new Collage Image Sheet 228 and added her adorable face to the center of the tag. She looks like she has been playing in the wind with her hair tousled. I added a few embellishments including a heart and key charm, and a bit of ribbon. Seal again with gel medium and you have an adorable tag that could be displayed separately or combined with the luggage tag album to create a whimsical story.
I used Digi Sheet 190 to create paper tags. Cut images to width that you wish, distress with ink, and mount again on to cardstock. Add Collage Image Sheet 228 faces to center of tag. Extra little embellishments were hand cut from the the sheet and added. Ribbon, heart charms, and buttons were then added for embellishments. Super easy and they make a cute accent on to any gift you may give!
