Ranger Inkssentials Surfaces Industries Craft Tag No. 8, Pack of 20

I usually love anything Ranger's but these tags are a bit of a disappointment if compared to other tags produced by Ranger (Wakley's or Holtz's for example). 
 
They are not good for mixed media; they aren't heavy-weight paper despite the description, so they curl up heavily when gessoed and cannot hold much weight. I cannot add bulk to the tags (fabric, burlap, embellishments) either. On the flip side of things, they're pretty good and very flexible to work just with paint. I haven't tried them with any kind of ink, so I cannot comment on how the paper reacts to them. 
 
This sizing is really nice, not too big or small, and easily stored in albums or any of the Holtz's boxes. The craft colour is perfect for application of metallic gold, bronze and brass colours, as the natural paper colour enhances the metallics.
