The theme for September 2021 Challenge at A Place to Start is patterned paper. I was inspired to create a mixed media tag. I incorporated a few found items.

The background of the first tag is a page out of an old Weber dictionary (1950s) that I acquired at an estate sale.

Upper left corner is a stamp from a letter (sent from France in '84) that I discovered on the ground during one of my evening walks. 

I adhered scraps of ephemera to create a collage using Dina Wakley Ultra Thick Gel Medium. 

The opening was covered with a piece of acetate sheet from one of my stamp sets that I saved. I also use acetate for my shaker cards.

The butterfly on the second tag is a rub-on transfer (Dollar Tree) onto a patterned paper. The flower is a die-cut from Tim Holtz collections.

                                                                                         

I decorated the back of the tags using paper napkins, washi tape, and handmade paper, This tag was fun to create using items I have in my stash. Hopefully my husband will now understand why I "collect things"....
