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!

Tag #2
For some reason, I seem to be hung up on pink lately. I never used to do anything in pink and now that is all I want to do. I made this tag to enter in Joan's Gardens weekly tag challenge. The idea is to make several tags that you might need for the year. I'm always needing a tag for something and then I never take the time to make one, so this is just right down my alley! If I get my ducks in a row, I might just have enough tags for the whole year.....well at least I would have a good start! My tag is pretty simple really....I sponged Ranger Distress ink in Victorian Velvet then stamped and embossed my swirl with clear embossing powder, then I sponged Aged Mahogany over that. I added an edge using a Martha Stewart Punch and then I made flowers to go on it using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die, and Prima E-Line flowers. I sponged them with Victorian Velvet Ink as well. The tag is a Spellbinders Tag die cut in half and the sentiment is from Just For Fun Stamps. I hope you enjoy!
Well it is Friday and the weekend is in sight! Have a great day and remember to take time to breathe!
