My New Tag....


Each week Joan over at Joan's Gardens has a tag challenge...the idea being that we have a jump on the tags we made need for the year.  I have really been enjoying this challenge and this week I have another tag to share!  I started with a Manila tag and sprayed it with my Pearl Ex sprays using several colors (purple, teal and gold) and then I stamped and embossed swirls with copper embossing powder.  I used a Tim Holtz die birdcage and cut it down to fit the tag, then embossed it with gold and copper and I left some open spaces to add some distress inks.  My butterfly is a cut-out stamp that has been sprayed and glitzed to death!  Hand made flowers and cut-outs with dies and everything was sprayed with Pearl Ex sprays....I just love this stuff!  then I added little pearls to the flowers and some stringed pink pearls to accent everything.  I hope you enjoy this tag, I really love how it turned out.  Its all ready to be slid down into a gift bag and sent along to a dear friend! And before I forget...some seam binding sprayed to match the colors in the tag!
