Scrappy Turtle Tags~

Hi  there!
Today I'm sharing some Scrappy Turtle Tags created
with scraps of heavy mixed media cardstock off
of a 12x12 sheet of paper.  Couldn't let it go to
the trash:):) 

The tags are created together, so the elements are from the 
same stamp set. I used Distress Oxide inks for a colorful mix
for the background.  Stencils by PaperArtsy are used
on the background. 

The stamps are by Blue Knight Stamps (Sea Life Set), Carmen
 Veranda (border), Darkroom Door (Fish Net BG) and 
Studio Light (sentiments).  

The Sea Life elements are adhered with
dimensional adhesive by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
These were fun to create, even stapled the border to the 
bottom of the tag.  Buttons are by Buttons Galore & More.
The company links are in the side bar.
Thanks for stopping by!!

Today I'm sharing cards created with the NEW
Sea Grass stamp by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  This is
another fun one that can be added to scenery cards.

 stamped over the ink mix with Archival Black ink. The

This card is created using PanPastels for the color.  The Sea Grass
is added to the scene.  The scenery stamp used is called

for the Sea Grass and Silhouette Dogs stamp.  The birds are
 from Flocks of Birds. The sentiment is from the
