For the front side, I started with a 12"x 12" sheet that had been in the bottom of my spray box.I made stripes by placing down masking tape.
I sprayed some blue Radiant Rain and terra cotta Adirondack ink. When I removed two of the pieces of masking tape, it tore off the underlying color.
No problems, just an opportunity to add more color. I used Distress inks.
I stamped on flourishes with acrylic paint.
Stamped on script with Brilliance ink done sporadically. This is a faint image, here's a close up.
I punched out 14 tags from this sheet, and stamped the word "art" on the front with black Archival ink. Here is a sample of the front varieties. I love how this technique transforms "waste" paper into something "artistic".

For the back, I choose another sheet of 12" x 12" paper that had been in the bottom of my spray box. I added color by rubbing on Distress inks and misted with water.
I added text to a diamond stamp and then stamped on my paper.
I also stamped on a texture stamp with acrylic paint. These two steps add depth to the background.

I covered the surface with iridescent embossing powder and heat set.
Wrinkled up the paper, then straightened it out.
Reheated areas and rubbed on some foil.
I straighted the paper as well as I could and cut out the tags, because the paper was wrinkled, I didn't get 14 pieces, I only got 12. I used some of my previous worksheet wonders to finish the other backs. Here is some of the variety on the backs.

I adhered the fronts to the backs. Used black Archival ink to color the edges and added ribbons.
I hope some of the participants will want to trade with me!
