I have made a tag for my DT piece for the second week of the *past times* challenge over at The Cheerful Stamp Pad, sponsored by Altered Pages.
The tag has been cut using TH's cabinet card die, stamped with a BG stamp in resist ink, and then coloured with vintage photo. The second layer is a script stamp (LaBlanche), stamped with the same colour, and then the image stamped on top of that, once again using the same ink. It appears to be a little darker because it has been clear embossed. I gave the lady a necklace of liquid pearls, and decorated the tag with some vintage lace, a narrow ribbon, and a flower made up of die-cut old paper from the 18th century with a prima flower sandwiched between. I fixed it together with a string knot.
I finished it off with a metal word *spirit*
Have a great day you all, take care, and thanks for looking!
Beautiful, you have made some wonderful tags in the past days! Hugs, Sarah

ReplyDeleteAaaargh!
Great tag! The lady looks fab. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous in the sepia tones Valerie. Have a good day. xx
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty tag Valerie... I do love how you do those sweet flowers.
ReplyDeleteRe those parallel pens (!) I got them in Hong Kong because it was so much cheaper!!!! They only took just over a week to arrive too.
I found out about them doing the Letter Love class.... they make a calligraphy style much easier and I thought they'd be good for journaling too.
I'm visiting the hiding place of Anne Frank next month... and thought I'd like to read the book first. It's one I've been meaning to read for years.... but have (I'm ashamed to say) putit off because I know it will be so sad.
Is there any where else in Amsterdam you think shouldn't be missed?
