I tried my hand at making cute tags during the recent Splitcoast Dare To Get Dirty challenges and today's featured set is perfect for them; so that's what I'm going to show you how to do.  It's actually easier than you think and can be added to a card for a little extra flair, given as a gift by itself, or used as a bookmark.

After stamping the pig Country Charm on a pre-cut tag, then masking it, I then stamped the fence, birds and grass from Scenic Selections before stippling distress inks for dirt and some of the sky edges.  Then I made my own bottle of "mist" using a mini mister, water, and two drops of Tim Holtz broken china distress ink.  Once the "mist" was mixed well by shaking the bottle, I sprayed the sky area of the tag over the bathroom sink to make sure no extra spray got anywhere I didn't want.  My final touch was to add some old Paper Pizazz fibers I've had for years in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
