Hi everyone.
I'm back today with another tag for Pinkie's Fruit and/or Vegetable challenge at Tag Tuesday. It was fun to play with my fruit and veggie stamps, seeing I've had them forever and haven't used them as much as I could have in the past few years. My inspiration for this tag was all the good veggies I hope to get from my garden this summer.
I started by stamping some small veggie images. These are from an ancient foam set from PSX that I bought around the time I started stamping, around 22-23 years ago. I colored them in and then stamped the quote on the tag a few times. I used some green water-reactive ink on the background, but I wasn't crazy about it at this point. To fix that, I took some thin green acrylic paint and covered the whole tag.
I stamped the big veggies with colored ink on white paper and fussy cut them. After I arranged and glued them on the tag, I stamped the quote 1 more time on white paper, cut it out and added it to my tag. Finally I used a green paint pen to make little dots all over the background; I outlined the edge of the tag with a black Sharpie, and lastly I attached a small washer I found on the floor around the hole at the top of the tag. I think the washer must have fallen as I was cleaning up a little bin of parts that had been sitting out on my screen porch all winter.
There you have it.
And to wrap up my post, I thought I would also share some flower photos today also.
I walked around my gardens and took these photos, as well as taking some from plants in my containers too.
Enjoy and hope your week is going well.

Hi Erika! LOVE, love, love that gorgeous tag, and hope it will really be a good omen for your veggie garden this season! Thanks so much for joining us again at Tag Tuesday, much appreciated. The flower photos are wonderful, too, thanks for sharing. I can even see some little spider's webs, so pretty. Hugs, Valerie
Your tag reminds me of a seed envelope. Oh, your flowers are spectacular. Stay cool today
Wow - those stamps last a long time and oh. Such beautiful flowers!
Salad tonight :-)
I like veggies, so it's easy for me to follow your advice. So many lovely flowers! I don't have much in bloom yet.
That's a fun tag! It looks good enough to eat! And love all your blooms. They are thriving.
Truly amazing and beautiful gardening!

Love your tag that is so colourful and perfect for a gardener. I love all your beautiful flowers and glad to see the humble dandelion here. I also just love the blue cornflower. Or is that coneflower??
Your veggies tag is wonderful and all those flower photos are amazing - gorgeous 😀. I hope you're having a lovely week! Hugs, Jo x
Your yard blooms look beautiful, Erika, and some days it makes me miss the fact that we no longer have any garden being apt dwellers. But then I can always admire and appreciate the efforts of others like yourself without doing any of the work! You will surely enjoy having vegetables fresh from the garden in a few weeks.
What a fabulous tag! I wish we could grow vegetables! Love all those flowers, plenty coming along to replace the fading ones! Hugs, Chrisx
Love your tag - veggies deserve to be celebrated :-D
I also love your flowers. A great selection there. How lovely to be able to enjoy them as they grow. The constant rain and cold here has decimated most of my pots - including the tomatoes I dared to put outside. The day after I put them out it hailstoned - then again a few days later. But we have sunshine today and tomorrow - yay! It seems to have been a very long Autumn over here in the North West.

What a beautifully crafted Tag...love the sentiment too, I remember those words well when my children were small and I would find some veg pushed to the side of their plates,lol.
Yay a veggie tag!! I love it and I will eat my greens definitely!! Gorgeous photos on the blooms! Thanks so much for joining us at Tag Tuesday.
Hugs
Pinky
