Hello. Cheryl Boglioli here, with Cheryl’s Window, to share this fun OVERSIZED tag I made. I have no idea what # this tag is supposed to be, but it is 4×8.5”.
Here you can see it next to the standard-sized #8 tag. I was a little intimidated by the size, but really wanted to try this one and needed a balance for the large dragonfly. The dragonfly was created using bits and pieces from Tim Holtz Fanciful Flight Die.
The tail was extending by cutting a few extra bodies and cutting the tails off to glue onto the back end of the main body using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. All of the dragonfly parts were cut out of Grungeboard and I love how Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive holds grungeboard like nothing else. The dragonfly’s body and wings were all put together with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
The legs were created by cutting and just slightly bending a few pieces off of some leftover Zutter O-Wires I had. The legs were glued into place with Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots.
The rest of the tag was created by stamping, embossing (dry and wet) and inking with various colors. The dragonfly and the journaling strips were layered onto the tag using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. The control over placement and height of elements that you can achieve using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots is unattainable with any other adhesive.
This tag is also part of theTim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities 2, Challenge 5, at Studio L3. I had such a great time getting inky and playing with different elements and techniques to create this tag, but I couldn’t have put it all together without my trusty Helmar!
