Here it is Day 3 - I thought when I started this project I was going to do more artsy/messy tags - something with paint or ink or mist as the base but I'm really loving the simple tags with patterned paper and lots of layers.
And just for you a tutorial on how to make the accordion embellishment:
Start with 2 strips of paper - 12" x 1". Starting at the end fold a piece over approximately 1/2"
Continue to fold the pieces over - back and forth - accordian style. Do the same with the other piece.
Adhere the sides together
You will be left with this awkward accordion circle thing. Punch a circle - I used 1.25"
Fill the circle with glue - I used glossy accents - I strongly recommend hot glue (if you aren't worried about acid free - is hot glue acid free? I don't know - but it is WAY easier because it dries super fast. Take the accordion circle and push the center together and adhere to the circle - I put a little bit of glue in the center to help hold it together.
Cut a second circle and adhere to the other side. Ink with distress ink and there you go! In the tag I made I layered a second 1" circle on top and then a sticker.
