Here is the tag for *Tag Tuesday*. I cut a piece of cardboard in tent form, distressed and inked it, and added an image taken from one of my old books, showing a boys camp back in the 1930s. I added some 'tent-flaps' made from cheese cloth, dyed with DI 'ancient linen', and a flag pole with the Union Jack, rather wonky; we would have got into trouble at scout camp for things like that. I never enjoyed camping as a kid, where I went more or less voluntarily (better than staying home!) to camping *holidays* with the scouts or school, and later, as a teacher, often had to take kids camping (Under protest and NOT voluntarily!). I have added a song we used to sing round the campfire, and some tools, made of paper and rolled round a knitting needle to give them some form. The hammer is a little metal charm. Anyone else remember that song?
There's a long, long worm a-crawling
Along the ridge of my tent.
I can hear reveille blowing,
And it's time I went.
There's some cold, cold water waiting
For me to take my morning dip,
And when I return, I'll find that worm
Upon my pillowslip!
And this was another tag I made on Sunday while on my cardboard trip!

Beautiful card and tags Valerie, I love how you used the dragonfly, that card is gorgeous with the little girl standing in the frame and the delicate stickled flowers beneath her. I am not familiar with that song nor camping. Something I am glad I missed out on, lol.
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous creations Valerie. You spoil us! Love garden theme challenges. Thanks for sharing the link. Your card is beautiful. I really like the image/stamp of the little girl with the large hat that you have used.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Florence xx

Beautiful work, as always. I just love how your film femme is peeking through the filmstrip and how you've blinged her with the beads and feater.
