Used Ranger Peeled Paint distress ink for the background. It has a brown undertone, which wasn't the look I wanted, but it is growing on me. Used some markers for the centers -- rubbing the markers on an acrylic block and picking up with water and a brush.
Tag is from Avery Elle Thanks a Bunch. Love that tag!!
