An image of the Virgin de Guadalupe is stamped into paper clay and painted with gold to highlight the folds of her gown. Each tag shows a lot of attention and creativity in making it.
At our Portland Art Collective Show, someone commented that I should sell my gift tags. Here's a little tutorial on how I make them. First, cut or use a pre-cut tag and paint it with acrylic paint.
Tear apart a paper napkin. Don't stop at the first layer of white, the second layer needs to come off, too. Now there's a thin layer of tissue to use for the tag.

Thanks for the tutorial, your tag is beautiful! I especially like the tip of laying the tag down on the tissue, that must keep it flatter!
This turned out so pretty and is such a simple idea. Thanks for sharing!
