I sorta scrapped
My MIL mentioned to me that she needed a new luggage tag when she called the other day, so I decided to do one inspired by the Sally Jean charms. Since it was for a luggage tag, of COURSE she had to be a Travel Fairy, and since we are going to New York, she has a map of lower Manhattan. This way it's kind of a keepsake as well as something functional.
The background is made of several different patterned papers collaged together using Gel medium. I sanded them lightly, then "whitewashed" them using some pale pink paint and a baby wipe. I used a clear stamp to stamp the dots in blue, then outlined them in black pen. The wings and hat I just cut freehand from another piece of patterned paper, and trimmed in glitter glue. After I made the tag on paper, I laminated it in my Xyron and then adhered it to the backside of the luggage tag. I made a ribbon tassel just for a little extra added oomph. Whaddaya think?
