RM: 12 Months of Tags - July: Tropical!

This is the seventh in our 2018 year of altered tags. You may join all 12 or any one you wish - no need to be present for all! But the idea is that, at the end of the year, you should have a lovely collection of tags for 2018. :)

For this swap, you'll have 1 partner and create an altered manila tag for July. June's theme is Tropical! Anything with palm trees, pineapples, exotic fruit/animals, sunsets, exotic flowers, etc. is perfectly fine for this swap.

And in case you want to plan ahead, I've planned out the remaining tags for the year. They are:

• AUGUST - Sunny Daze

• SEPTEMBER - Autumn!

• OCTOBER - Halloween or Something Spooky

• NOVEMBER - The Harvest

• DECEMBER - Christmas/Yule/Your Winter Holiday of Choice

In a Nutshell

• Decorate a standard #5 shipping tag (4 3/4" x 2 3/8") with a pre-punched hole so the tags can be held together with a ring. If you don't have that size tag, you can cut one from heavy cardstock or tag-board.

• The front may be altered in any way you wish - collage, mixed media, stamped, hand-drawn or painted, etc. Please put your best effort forward! The back should be altered as well, but does not have to be nearly as in depth or detailed as the front. Please sign the back too, with your name and the date.

• The art is sender's choice, so you can start at any time - just remember the theme - Tropical!

• Tags are not profile based.
