Wicked Tag

I was going to the annual Craft and Hobby Show (CHA) in Anaheim, California. I knew Tim Holtz and Mario Rossi would be there so I wanted to make a Tag for them.  I know they LOVE the play Wicked so I googled the Wicked Poster to get a sense of the background colors.

I started with a basic Manila Tag. I put some Distress Stains – Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn and Black Soot – onto a Craft Sheet and spritzed them with water. I touched the tag to the ink and dried it with a heat tool.  I repeated the process until I achieved the background I was looking for. Then, I spritzed some drops of water onto the tag and dried it with a heat tool.

I used the Tim Holtz Dots Layering Stencil and Broken China Distress Ink which I applied with a Blending Tool.  The edges were sponged with Black Soot Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.  I stenciled the word "Wicked" onto the tag with a Sponge Dauber(#102892) and White Craft Ink (#101731).

The Witch was originally created by Patty Bennett for Halloween. She is created with punches and framelits.  Her face is a Large Oval Punch (#199855) in Old Olive Cardstock (#100702).  Her arms are taken from a portion of a Dress-Up Framelit (#130101) in Old Olive Cardstock.  Her dress is made from 3 Dress-Up Framelits that are cut from Basic Black Cardstock (#121045) and run through the Big Shot (#113439) in the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#130917). Her hat is half of a Floral Frames Framelit (#127012) and a Triangle Punch (Petite Pennants Punch #122361) that were embossed as well.  Her shoes were just hand cut little triangles from Red Glimmer Paper (#121790).  Her lips were hand drawn using a Real Red Marker (#100052).

The Ribbon (See first photo) was spritzed with water and dragged through the same Distress Inks and then crumpled and dried with a Heat Tool (#129053).  I finished off the top corner of the tag with a metal Idea-ology Corner.  Have you subscribed to my YouTube Channel?  If you need any supplies,  you can SHOP IN MY ONLINE STORE and have them delivered right to your door. 😀   I hope you like my Elphaba!
