This is a bit of a feeble' 'U for unusual'.... instead of using stamps I have used something a bit more unusual to stamp with.... the bottom of bottles and glass vases to make all the circular patterns on the tag. Background was made by the distress inkpads on the craft sheet and mist with water technique (softer colours as it was the second tag) The U is a bought chipboard letter, gessoed (...is that a word?) then inked with distress inks . Stamped with a crackle stamp, inked around the edges, covered with diamond glaze.

Well it's unusual enough for me! I wouldn't have thought of using the bases of vases etc for stamping.

What a superb tag and the 'stamps' are certainly very unusual. Great work !!

Not feeble in the slightest way! I think it is really great and what a good technique using the base of vases.
