I hope you took time to play with the pigment inks...
it's a VERY COOL & VERY FUN technique...
Here's another tag I made for my demo table...
same technique, but this uses just denim (on sale!)for the background.
The flower ( a new tim Sizzix die) is inked with butterscotch pigment(it's on sale too!) and the stem is stamped with lettuce.
The background is stamped with olive archival...
you can see that the olive REALLY makes the saying pop, when stamped in jet black archival.
If both were black...it would be flat & boring...
I stamped this background and this one with butterscotch...
over the flower layers...
Another pigment combo that I LOVE...
red pepper & lettuce...
I want to use the scallop stamp on EVERYTHING...
I think I will!
now about those wonderful comments...

Oh, how gorgeous are these! I want some new rubber & ink. Alas, I just spent all my money for this week.
WOW! Great minds think alike I reckon Wendy, cos my Sunday Stamper challenge theme tomorrow (which always uses a song title...)is using that song title too...and I meant to ask...one of your new stamps says...
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make
...which is one of my FAVE songs EVER EVER EVER...are you a Beatles fan hunny? Is that something else we have in common I wondering? Love your new tags...and I am a very very very happy ink bunny this afternoon...my hands are gloriously covered in Ranger Pigment Ink and my tshirt is splatted, which means, I have made some ART...with my new rubber...which was made by Stampers Anon...and designed by...YOU! And I love them .. LOADS!
Have a FAB weekend xxx
Oh, my! I LOVE your blog and the tags you've recently made! Can;t wait to get some of your new stamps and the new inks coming out!
I have some of your new stamps on pre-order and really hope they get here soon as I am soooo impatient! I love that flower die, but you make it look awesome. gotta go ... make art!!
just cant wait to get my hands on your amazing new stamps to add to my collection, thank you, luv georginaxx
Guess I won't be cleaning today cuz I want to work on more tags like these. Yesterday's was fab & so much fun. Now to get inky!
Really pretty effects on the tags. Need to make some art this weekend. Waiting so patiently (not) for my stuff that I have ordered!
I love the color combinations!
I haven't used my pigment inks in a while. Looks like I will be digging them out to play with if they haven't all dried out by now...lol!
Congratulations Katrina!
Both tags are fabulous Wendy!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
I love the shape of these tags with their scalloped edges and rounded corners. The flowers are so geat too. I can't wait for Tim's new dies.
These are pretty. Have a great weekend.
Lucky you, Katrina! Congratulations and enjoy your Valentine surprise!
I need fresh rubbah... to make art!
Oooh, I think I'm liking that scallop stamp, too. Gorgeous tags!
Happy Valentine's Day! I do love that Red Pepper/Lettuce combo. Your scallop stamp is very cute,and looks great with everything you have shown us. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love this tag - I could make a bunch of these, tie them into a banner, and bring a little spring into my house - I'm so tired of snow!
I think you should use the scallop stamp on everything!
Congrats to Katrina and I love your tags.
Love your tags!
I've been doing bathroom renovations all week. Now I just need to get some energy to Make Art lol.
When is that flower die coming out?! I can't wait to be able to use it. Love your new stamp sets also. Off to make an order somewhere! Thanks for showing the tags!
Aloha, Kate
Contrats, Katrina. When you win something from Wendy, it is really nice. I was a lucky winner from another drawing, and was very surprised (and happy) to get one of her new stamp sets.
The new colors are beautiful--can't wait to try them with your stamps!! :) Penny in MO
once again I am not going to get anything done around the house other than making fun stuff!! So much for housework and/or meals! I hope no one minds cold cereal again! When I grow up I want to be just like you!
Wonderful tags Wendy as always ;)
Ha! I now have the inside scoop for tomorrow's Sunday Stamper hehe

I like your scallop stamp too - I can't wait for my scrapbook store The Crafty Scrapper to get your stamps in so I can play. I got the Maya Road goodies just waiting on my ink and your stamps.
thanks for the weekend inspiration:D
Congrats to Katrina! Love the tags, that technique is GREAT!
I am a newcomer to your site. You have an eye for color and composition. I like the "earthiness" of the tag. I have the Distress inks and use them almost exclusively for everything I stamp.
Thanks for sharing!
OH, OH, OH, OH. . . making art today!!!
Your tags are beautiful...must get the scallop stamp and those new ink colors...so I can make art! Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous as always. I am so anxious for my preordered inks to arrive and Tim's new dies. I have several on order now just to be patient. These will be fabulous to use them on.
I've had my eyes on the scallop trim stamp since your first sneak peek!!! Today's tags are awesome!!!
Love that pigment technique! Also love those tim dies. They work great with your stamps. Thanks for the great examples!
love the tags.....All this new "stuff" is breaking the budget, but so worth it. Can't wait to keep adding to my collection. Thank you for the giveaways....KH
I love these two tags, the color combos are wonderful. I guess I will need to get some of those pigment inks... I'll try to wait until my LSS receive your stamps sets to get them, but I'm not sure I'm patient enough... I can't wait to play with them!
Hi Wendy! ty for sharing how you do these things! My stamps have not yet arrived but will soon! Just need my new inks! and...your books! so I will email you about how to get those..I think it is just great there is not much wait now for everyone..congrads to all winners...I agree...presents are too fun and surely appreciated by all! Have a great Valentine's Day! xox cher
LOVE the new project - and ordered 4 new stamp sets from eclectic paperie the other day - can't wait to get them and start playing! very curious about the mystery package from Ranger... lots of ink-y goodness I'm sure!
I'm liking that scallop stamp, too!
Wendy -
I love those tags and I am really starting to fall in love with that scallop stamp. I love that you can change colors to make the stitching look different, I love that you can cut out the scallop, its just awesome.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Elaine Allen
I love the flowers and that scallop stamp has soooo many possibilities. Love using the olive green as well! Thanks! You Rock! Sue

Happy Valentine's Day to both you and Rick!
All you need is love!
Amazing tags!
Love both of the backgrounds on those tags - I just need to find some time to play! I hope both you and your hubby have a great Valentine's Day!
Beautiful tags!!! Congrats to Katrina!! What fun from Ranger!!!
What is it? what is it? what is it? I like surprises, but I don't like long waits...Thank you Wendy you rock
Love these tags .... can't wait till I can get my hands on the new stamp sets!! Have a great Valentines!
Ranger love? Spun Sugar love? Leaving a little love for Wendy and her friends at Ranger!
i definitely like the new colors. but i said i wouldn't buy new stuff until i get organized. and i have a lot of still unused stamps that i said i would use before i got more stamps. now you show us all these lovely new tags and things and my willpower is rapidly being challenged. i must run off now and organize and stamp. i can't hold out much longer
Beautiful! My stamps and inks have not arrived yet, but hopefully when I return from vacation they will be waiting for me. PLEASE!!!!!
Have a great week Wendy....I'm heading for the tropics!
Eileen in NYC (but not for long!)
Love the tag.
Thanks for the fun!
Sandra
Love the tags - colors and designs. Thanks for all the inspiration and the giveaways! Maybe I'll win one of these days...
Happy Valentine's Day!
Susan
Thank you for reminding me how much I want to try this technique. Can I send you a list of other things I need reminding about?
I love the combination of red pepper and lettuce too. And those delicious colors make me want to do art NOW!
I love that combo of red pepper and lettuce too. It looks delicious! Can't wait to see you in August at The Stamping Place. I am doing the happy dance. The dates are in my calendar. YES!!!
have a very happy valentines weekend with that special man of yours wendy....hope you are spoiling each other....big hugs kath xxxxx
Great tags! But if you are in a pinch, realizing you don't have any tags and need one to make a project right away, do you make your own tag or just recycle an old tag and make into a new one?
Happy Valentine's Day Mr and Mrs Vecchi XXX
Love the tags. Keep sending, I can't wait for more.
sue
oooooohhhhh soo nice, thank you
We're expecting our new colors to arrive this week at the store! Can't wait to start using them with your new stamps!
Happy Valentine's Day to you, Wendy. Your love of art is infectious. Glad to say I know you!

I love that scallop stamp, part of my favorite set of the new releases. Just can't wait for mine to arrive!
Happy Valentines Day . Hope it is full of love and Art. Shirley
I love the effects you get with the colored Archival and pigment inks! I can't wait to expand my ink collection. The scalloped stamp really gives tags a whole new image--feminine grunge.
I'm back! It's Valentine's Day! Wishing you, the scallop stamp and the inks some love!
You are just so talented...Love your ideas and your humor...lol!
Happy Valentines Day:)))
OK, now I have to hunt for the stitched scallop stamp as well as Olive Archival Ink.
I love all the inspiration - although it is getting expensive - all those stamps and inks and dies I really need now. Thank you so much for your creativity.
Oooooh I just love "insider information" - What could it be? What could it be? Please don't make us wait too long!!!
Just waiting for my new stamps and ink to arrive! Then I can play!!

Love the tags .. the color and technique is so cool. I agree the scallop stamp can be used on everything !!! I can't wait to see all the is yet to come .. thanks Wendy . Have a great day !!
Wendy, we went to the stamp convention in Columbia SC on Saturday 2/13 and saw your idea board, stamps and book at the Stampers Anonymous booth and our whole group feel in love with it. I din't notice the scallop stamp and I wish I had , because I agree I think I would get a lot of use out of it. Have a great day!!!
