Hi you all!
Today is challenge Tuesday for me, as this week both the Tuesday blogs are due.
At Tag Tuesday our theme is the Swinging Sixties. I made a tag using images from Gecko Galz. I loved the warm colours from the sixties, and all the things we were hoping for - peace, love and harmony. It was a decade that marked my transition from school to studying to starting a family and my first job as a teacher.
The challenge at TIOT is to use three different, fancy edges. I am not really a fan of fancy edges, so decided to get them all onto one piece of paper . I used X-Cut punches to do the flowers and butterflies on the left and right sides, and a Marth Stewart punch to do the lace edge at the top. I mounted it onto some partly peeled and white-painted corrugated cardboard. I punched some more flowers for the centre, and used buttons as embellishments, string for the stems and some cut-out leaves. The paper is from Kaisercraft, it has 2 different sides, which I was able to use well here. I tied it all up with some string and added 2 of my home made paper beads. I will use this as a page for my calendar.
That's all for today. Have a good day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Both terrific creations with lots of wonderful colours and images

Who could resist Twiggy & The Beatles! Love the way you achieved texture in your second piece--the twine stems are perfect!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces, you really captured the sixties there, it was a busy time for you!
ReplyDeleteLove your tags as always- you really captured the movement of the sixties with those incredible colors! Also, I love how delicate the scalloped edges of your other tag are- very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get back to my blogging routine, so hopefully, I'll get to see more of your new work soon!

Your sixties tag is fab and super-dooper. I like your piece with the cut edges, very innovative with the flowers and butterflies.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile at the 60's creation. I did not have a clear image in my mind until I saw your tag and then I thought "yes I do remember". I had two young children at the time so was more involved in being a new mother. Your second piece is grand with all the texture. I am going to make some of those beads one day!

Great way to represent the edges, looks great in the kraft and white too. Love the 60's tag with Twiggy, I wanted her gorgeous eyes when I was in high school, she was such a beauty! What a great way to reminisce! ~Diane
