Ginormous Tags

Just in time, I finished my 2 Ginormous tags for the Mad-Hatter's Tea Party swap with the AlphaStamps' yahoo group. Ginormous is a Tim Holtz word; he's got a million of these that make perfect sense when applied to his crafty products. I had over a month to create these 2 tags, and only a few rules to meet: Tea theme, use black and red somewhere, mad-hatter images encouraged, use some products from AS.
With a whole month to use up...I was startled yesterday to realize that I had to get the tags in the mail on Friday. TOMORROW! The top tag was complete, dry, and awaiting. But the bottom tag was a concept, until this afternoon when I got down to it. Fun, fun, fun. Some of those in the swap group make duplicates of their work, so that each tag they send in would look alike. I don't do this, but I did use a number of the same elements here, for the first time. Next we go back to ATC's, a smaller format. Still, after all, ginormous isn't so big.

These turned out nice.
I really like the limited color palette. It puts a stronger focus on the black and white lines.
