I don't know what is my newest stamp is, (ok, that's a blatant lie, it's one of Tim's Christmas sets, but I'm so over that right now, lol) HOWEVER, I do know that a couple of Studio 490 stamps would be included in the "new" group! The newest stamps I used were from the Be Happy...Make Art, and Fashion Style and Art sets. The vines were made with grungeboard and the Regal Crest die, and a bright background in plaid using Cranberry and Butterscotch Colorwash help make this tag cheerful enough to pull me out of the winter doldrums! I also used stamps from: It's More Flower Art, It's Face Art, Art-Fully Said, and Dimensional Rose Art.
I used Stream dye ink for the birdie, and distress inks in Peeled Paint, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, Fired Brick and Vintage Photo for the other elements. An Inkssentials white pen was used to highlight the stamping in spots. If you haven't tried using a white pen to highlight, you should. It really makes the stamping pop!

Love the bright colours,Lori. Happy New Year. Now I have to go and highlite the cat in white so she pops.
I love the bright, vibrant colors to help us through this drab time of year. Your project did make this a Happy New Year! Helene
Beautiful, bright tag, love it. I like the way you've used the white to highlight, it certainly does make a difference. xx
Oy! This is unquestionably one of the best tags I've ever seen!
The colors are delicious and the shapes remind me of mountain hikes and summer camping trips!
Gorgeous!
What pretty, HAPPY colours you chose! Can't wait to get out some spring style (ie non Christmas) stamps and PLAY....
Wow, that was an eye-opener. Gorgeous colors and so much fun stuff going on. Will have to try to play along again. Hope things calm down a bit now.
LOVE this. Those colors are SOOOOO me. I keep forgetting about my white pen. Thanks so much for the beautiful reminder. Gotta get showered for the day at work, I'll be back at breaktime to finish my visit....
Really cool tag with lots of "stuff" layered on it. I love layers! They add so much dimension and interest to anything! Love the bright, cheery colors you used, too! Guess I better figure out which is my newest stamp! haha
Your tag really hit the spot for me this morning! The bright colors are a breath of fresh air - perfect for the start of the new year.
I didn't realize how much color can do until I saw your tag and instantly perked up. :*)
Love the bright colors! Yeah the winter blahs are upon us. Love the white pen tip too. I have these and forget to use them.
Wow, that tag sure helped bring me out of my doldrums!
Great tag Lori, I love the brightly coloured background, very cheery for this time of year and I love using a white pen it really does make your stamping pop from the page, beautiful. Tracy Evans x
I love the elements here and the warm, rich colors are really making me smile - too bleak outside and with everyone taking down their decorations it's looking kind of stark in these here parts!
Gorgeous vibrant colours Lori and love all the different elements. Annette x
Wow, your color choices are just super and I really love the background stamping with the color blended over it. I agree that the white highlights work wonders but somehow never reach for that pen. I appreciate the reminder that it works in all sorts of styles. I'll bet this tag is a ray of sunshine hanging in your studio!
