Tag Tuesday #22 -- Paper Piecing

It's good to be back hosting Tuesday Tag Challenges. For this week's theme I chose paper piecing. Which really means just ripping or cutting paper in various shapes and sizes and adding them to your tag.
I wanted to use the "specialty" paper Sarah had given me on the cruise. I inked up several strips of it with different colors of distress inks. Then after I applied it to my tag I found I could stamp on it very nicely.
My image and sentiment are from Oxford Impressions.

Louise, that tag is awesome! WIsh I would have gotten to make a tag today, but I am out of the habit of checking your site to see what the theme is, and tomorrow, NO TIME. Next week in the meantime I am checking out all the gorgeous tags everyone has made.

Love your tag, Louise!

Mine is on my blog - I am a complete dummy and can't follow your directions to link it directly; ergo the deletions!!!
