I've been using the PAPERBOY plate from Artistic Outpost to create a huge textural tag.
I used a black tag and then covered most of the tag with corrugated card to add texture and dimension to the background.
I added the fabulous sentiment from the Paperboy Plate along with a pen nib which I aged with a touch of black Paint Dabber. I also added pencils stamped onto kraft card from the Secretary Pool plate.
I stamped the paperboy and added a touch of shading using a Distress Marker. I added the paperboy to some pieces of vintage newspaper, punching the edges with a paper punch. I also added a lollipop stick which I coloured with Distress Inks and added the text EXTRA! EXTRA! using black Archival Ink. I also added a mini typewriter along with a further stamped pencil and also added a piece of typing paper to my typwriter adding NEWS to the paper. I also added a huge button threaded with twine.
A few more splats and a touch of random stamping on the corrugated card complete my tag.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Fabulous collage! I love each element and how it contributes brilliantly to the story this tag tells. Great texture with the corrugated cardboard and the lovely punched newspapers. Love how you have combine fabulous stamps and 3-D items to achieve such cool dimension.
