TAG ALONG CHALLENGE BLOG #90: FAIRYTALES

Donna is hosting the Tag Along Challenge Blog this week and she has chosen the theme of fairy tales!  I suppose my favorite fairy tale has always been Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! Everyone loves a good love story, right?  But, creating a tag with Snow White was just so...well, expected, and I love the UN-expected!  So, meet Dopey!  Other than the prince, of course, Dopey has always been my favorite.

 I used a #8 tag from Ranger and covered it with some bluish-greenish-yellowish paper from my stash.  To add a bit of interest to that background, I used a new stamp I received from my friend Barbara (thanks again!), but rather than inking it up, I painted it up with DecoArt's Green Gold fluid acrylic.  Since I still had paint on my foam brush and I hate to waste anything, I used the brush to ink up the edges of my tag, paying particular attention to creating a wider border on the bottom to "ground" my image.  

 I also used the remaining paint on my foam brush to ink up my Stampotique text stamp for my sentiment.  I thought it was the perfect sentiment as Dopey doesn't speak, yet communicates just the same!

 There was still a bit of paint on my craft sheet, so I spritzed it with water and let my Ranger crinkle ribbon absorb it.  I crumbled it and set it aside to dry.  It got quite stiff, but I love having the matching ribbon!

I hope you will join in on our fun at the Tag Along Challenge Blog this week.  Thanks for your visit and your comments; both are important to me!

    Wonderful tag and I love all of the greens in this! I know Spring has been here for awhile in the northern hemisphere, but it's still nice to see so much green, after the harsh Winter some of us went through.
