Using up some older items in my stash, I created this tag. The photo of the mother and child is so sweet and I wanted to make something special to showcase it.
The base is a premade tag by Ranger that I covered both sides with paper from a RAK. The photo was adhered to a piece of corrugated cardstock that I highlighted with Picket Fence Distress Paint. Some ruffled lace trim was then glued around the edges. The panel was then attached to the tag with foam tape. A piece of a crochet doily was placed at the bottom of the tag as well as a row of pearls. A purple trinket was tied to a twine and ribbon bow accented with a Prima flower. On both sides of the bow are flowers which I am not sure who made them. I just know they were among my very first crafting supplies! A trio of Prima flowers was also placed to the top left of the photo. The tiny roses were give a touch of gesso. A pretty stained seam binding bow was tied to the top of the tag.
It is amazing the things we accumulate among our crafting supplies! It feels good to find a use for them. Of course, more room is made for new supplies!
I hope the week ahead is a good one for you. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your sweet comments.
