I have another tag for you today:

This was so much fun to make!

I began with a black cardstock tag base.

I then cut a smaller one from white cardstock. 

I stenciled the rays on the white cardstock, 

using the Citrine ink.

I inked the stencil again, with the embossing ink.

I sprinkled the clear embossing ink over the wet ink,

and heat set it. 

It turned all the yellow ink very shiny! 

I cut the Retro Lightbulb in half,

so that it would fit into the stenciled rays.

All the chipboard pieces were heat embossed in the same way,

using the black glossy embossing powder.

I then adhered the lightbulb in place on the left edge of the tag,

and added the words in place along the rays.

Then I took some black wire and wrapped it around a skewer.

I pierced a hole on the top of the lightbulb,

and another one on the top of the tag.

I removed the wire from the skewer,

and pulled it out to fit the tag. 

I poked the ends of the tags through the holes,

and secured the wire ends on the back of the tag.

Finally, I inserted a yellow eyelet through the top of the tag.

I looped a sparkly yellow ribbon through the eyelet,

and added a pretty ribbon bow.
