Tag, You're It! Challenge #41

I am so honored to be the hostess today for a new challenge over at Tag, You're It!  I hope you will be inspired to play along. 
I water colored this sweet duo from Penny Black's stamp set, Smile All Day using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens and some Tim Holtz watercolor paper.  Those Zigs are a little out of my comfort zone.  It helped when I stopped trying to use them like Copics, and let them be themselves.  I partial die cut the image by cutting the fox's tail and pulling it to the top side of the die cut as I sent it through the Big Shot.

Supplies I used:
Penny Black, Smile All Day
Memento Ink, Desert Sand to stamp the image
Poppy Stamps Pinpoint Main Street Tag die
Zig Clean Color Brushes 45,28,23,60,65,24,10,50
Distress Ink Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon in the background
Tim Holtz water color paper
Mama Elephant Hello diecut
PTI Summer Sunrise cs
Archiver's Promotional pattern paper from years ago (not sure what company made it)
Making Memories fibers Sherbet (2005)
Button from my stash
Thanks so much for coming over to visit!  I hope you will check out the amazing design team's creations over at Tag, You're It! and join in on the fun! 

Just a quick update: surgery on my right shoulder went well and I start physical therapy today.  I hope to be back to commenting more soon.  Have a wonderful day!

  1. Adorable! Do I need Zigs? Should I spend my hard earned money on something else or are they really fun?

  10. Fabulous tag Kara, and I think your coloring with the Zigs is fantastic...you've definitely mastered them better than I have!! (I still like my Copics better!) Love how you let the tail of the fox go off the tag too...such a cute design detail! Glad to hear surgery went well and hope the PT goes well too! :0)

  11. Your tag is fantastic Kara. I love your coloring - those adorable critters look furry. I have never tried Zigs. Took me so long to "master" Copics, and that's a stretch, I am afraid to try something else. Love all the detail like the partial diet of the tail, that wonderful thread on the button, the PP... all works together beautifully.
