{a little early}
I'm back with my entry for the Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge-Week 5 with a kraft tag celebrating Independence Day in the US and the creative talent of Tim Holtz. This technique is one I particularly enjoyed because I love the properties of the distress line and how versatile they are. By now you know there's no sharing of info concerning the technique out of respect for Tim. If you want to join along you can get an autographed copy of CC3 here.
Challenge 5
We were given the option of completing Part 2 if we wanted to but I chose to complete Part 1 only. My original intent was to add mirrored stars to my tag however I forgot to pack them so I stamped two nautical blueprint stars on my background and colored each with distress markers. Industrial trimmings along with washi tape were added and I altered Tim's crinkle ribbon with distress ink then dried it with a heat tool. Paula Cheney's technique for creating bows is easy and they look great so I made another one. :)

Lisa...your patriotic tag is darling! I love how you've colorized the blueprint stamp here. The addition of Tim's metallic borders is such a great touch, too! Thanks for sharing your tag with us at CC3C. <3 Candy
what a great 4th tag Lisa! Love how you framed the image panel with the Industrious stickers - your red ribbon is luscious and the stamped stars look great in the corners (a good substitute for the forgotten shiny stars!) Have a safe and happy 4th!

Lisa, I absolutely love your tag! The beautiful tone of tag sets your beautiful stamping and coloring up perfectly! I also love those elements you used-those tiny stars- have to have them! Sorry, I went on& on have I said that I love your tag? Jackie")
This is as patriotic as it can get.I love the red, white and blue in combination with kraft, and the metallic look of the star border looks great!
Your tag is so vintage and beautiful! What a tribute to our history.
Somehow I missed this one... I love the sketchy images on your awesomely patriotic tag! Those stars are fantastic!!!
I also meant to add to my last comment that I hope your DH is doing well. Not sure where my brain is at the moment!
