Hello dear friends and welcome.
Here we are again with a new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. Monika is our host this time and the Theme is to Create a tag.
You can still create whatever you like, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece, anything at all, as long as it includes a tag. Or, you can simply create a tag on its own as I have done here.
My little tag was made at the last minute. I knew this Challenge was coming up of course but, somehow, the time just flew by and it was upon us before I really noticed. So, I had to quickly find something to make and this is the result.
I found the blue tag in my stash. I have a basket on my workbench where I drop any ephemera left over from other projects and that is where I found this. There was also a small paper doily left on my desk and that started me off with the decorating.
The piece of book paper came next and, once I had glued these down, I decided it needed some texture. Should have done that first up. Not easy adding texture paste through a stencil without getting it all over the doily and book paper. I did manage though, and then decided it needed stamping! Well, that mostly did go over the doily, etc. but, luckily, I was still happy with it.
The tag was a bit flimsy so I mounted it onto a piece of kraft card and then it was time for some embellishment.
Found the stamens on my desk too. Not sure when they got there but they certainly came in handy.
Time to find some flowers. Again, I was lucky that I found these little beauties. I must have coloured them ages ago and not used them but they were perfect for my tag. I also found the little gem stems and added that as well.
A small bunch of white flowers completed the cluster.
Threaded a piece of twine through the top, found some words I liked, and my little tag was done!!
Would love you to join our Challenge, it can be a lot of fun! For some great inspiration, pop on over to the CCM blog and take a peek at the wonderful creations by the rest of the Team. You will also find our linky there to add your creation.
