Hi you all,
hope you have had a good start in the new week.
It's time for Tag Tuesday again, and our theme is 'tag on tag'.
I have made a tag on tag on tag this time.
The top layer has been made with speciality stamping card from LaBlanche. I distressed the background with DIs in tumbled glass, Victorian velvet and wild honey. The background stamps are from TH, as is the large bird, which I stamped on an extra piece of card and fussy cut. I used archival black which I clear embossed. The small birds have been made with a Martha Stewart punch. I gave the bird a collar made of fibres, and a bell saved from an Easter bunny. (I only buy them to get the bells, and then have to sacrifice myself and eat the chocolate so as not to be wasteful!)
I mounted the top tag onto a slightly larger one cut from black card. The background card has been cut from an old box, painted with gesso, and then smeared with Utee gold into which I stamped. I made a matching tie out of the rest of the pretty fibres, and added some gem stones, pearls and a feather as embellishments.
I am linking to Fashionable Stamping Challenges, birds and bees, and to
Moo Mania and More, feathers.

I enjoyed looking at flowers on my walk today, some in front gardens, and others on the meadows or by the wayside:
Here's wishing you all a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

You are so good to make the sacrifice so your birdie can have a bell! The flower photos are awesome--my lilies should be blooming soon, too. I love, love, love what I think is a variety of poppy!
ReplyDeleteYes, those poppies are wonderful, very big, and such a beautiful colur, and standing in a tiny corner garden with hollyhocks and liies!
Delete:D Herrlich, ich kaufe die Osterhasen und Weihnachtsmänner auch nur wegen der Glocken :D ... Dass die Schoki dann noch super gut schmeckt ist ein toller Nebeneffekt :D

Love how you trimmed this fabulous tag, beautiful flower photos as well.
