As we don't celebrate 4th of July in Australia, I chose some bright colours that would help me feel warm in all this cold. Also, I didn't have any canned air so I had to improvise there too. I chose to use a straw to blow the ink around. I am happy with the way it turned out. I turned the tag each time applied ink to ensure that I was blowing in the direction I wanted it to splatter. This is such a quick way to make a cool, colourful background!
Finally, I applied my stamps using Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black, added my embellishments and tied on my ribbon. Easy and fun!
This addition of a chunky embellishment like a key is new to me. I have tried it a couple of times now and have determined that I need more of this style of embellishment with new ways to attach them! Watch out wallet :0)
I hope you liked my take on Tim Holtz's July tag. Thank you for looking and I will get back into posting after we have moved!

Great tag! The colors are great. I am now out of canned air, so I will try using a straw for the next one. Good luck with your move.
