My tag today is made with bits and pieces from my stash. The papers are all K&Co. The lace is from Joann's. A bit of ruffled lace was used to frame the Craft Secrets image. A crochet doily was cut in two for added layers. The ruffled trim as well as the beaded trim and the metal embellishment were a gift from a dear friend. The flowers and butterfly are Recollections. The rhinestone swirl is Prima.
The paper edges were all inked and distressed. I used foam tape for dimension between the layers. A resin rose was placed on top of the metal embellishment.
So, what have you been up to this weekend? I have spent over six hours in the course of three days working on a tag featuring a Julie Nutting doll stamp. I was inspired by a beautiful card posted the other day by Pamellia Johnson. Let me say, she makes it look so easy; but I can now say that I know firsthand the amount of work she puts into her gorgeous projects. I am still not finished with the tag and it does not look as beautiful as her card, but I am trying! Hopefully, I will be able to share it in the future if I'm not too embarrassed by it! lol
Have a wonderful week ahead, dear friends. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. I appreciate all your sweet comments.
Your tag is stunning! Love all the lace and bling on it. You can tell a lot of love when into making this.
