Louise has another great challenge idea for Tag Tuesday: Not on Paper. Mine turned out to be rather 'circusy,' I think....lots of bright colors and images. The tag is made of aluminum from a drink can (be careful, or wear gloves!) which I then embossed in one of Tim's new folders. I then glued it to a tag to stabilize the whole thing. Various colors of alcohol inks were applied to the embossed surface, and then I added the image and those 'sugared' flowers. It's NOT ON PAPER!

Great colors on your metal tag Evelyn, It has a bit of whimsey to it!
ARtists that work with alumunim pop cans just amaze me. I'd seriously hurt myself, I'm sure.
Kudos to you for creating such a fun and colorful tag under such potentially dangerous circumstances!
Love the outside-your-box color choices! Certainly works well with the metal, too. A nice touch of whimsy for an nontraditional tag! Denise B.
Oh, I like it, good job. I have thought of using tin or aluminum but I am a little too clumsy for that. I love the colors :)

love it on metal!
Such a beautiful tag, Evelyn. Excellent. Hugs, Gayle.
Hi Evelyn,
Wow, this is so pretty! I love the image and colors...I sure am glad you didn't get cut on the aluminum...it is gorgeous!

Simply great job Evelyn! I have yet to try my hand using a can. Your tag is full of wonderful colors.

Great tag. Love the colours and the way all the elements come together.

This is fabulous.. I just love how you used a can.. And your image and flowers just set it off perfectly.. I love it!
What a cool idea!
Yes, I'm in the western half of the state - 40 miles south of Portland, in the rural area near Silverton.
I actually love the colours. I tend to back off from colour myself but totally appreciate this. Great use of metal. Lynne M
This is quite an endeavor using a can. It is absolutely gorgeous. You have sparked a keen interest in me to try this.
Wow! The colors are just fabulous! Love the image!
I love the look of the metal and all the bright colors - very pretty!
