Mother and Child Tag

Hi everyone!  It's an overcast day here today with heavy rain on the way.  A perfect day to stay in and craft but I do have a birthday party to attend later this afternoon.  I look forward to my craft time each week and wish I had more time for it!

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.

I adore all the trims and pearls you used, and the bit of corrugated paper adds great texture. Way to go using up some older stash goods, too. That always feels so good. :)
