Almost Ivory

My second entry to the challenge at Creative Harmony, this time (hopefully you can tell) I've made a tag, and it's ivory...mostly. I embossed yellow card with a bee design (cuttlebug, on loan from a friend), then heat embossed the raised part with clear powder. My flower stack is prima, with black card candy as it's centre. My die cuts are Marianne Designs. The sentiment is handwritten, ribbon is very old stash, and the bee is the last of my cute little bee button....I wish I could remember where I had them from : (

If you'd like to join in, there is still time...below is copied and pasted from Linda's post. There is wonderful candy on offer for the winner.

Creative Harmony - Almost White Papercraft Challenge

My name is Linda and I'm addicted to Tags

I'm mostly only making tags these day, just trying lots of different techniques, making lace and tassels and putting charms together, having a lot of fun. I really like this one, I cut a couple of Marianne Designs Doilies out of scrap card and used them as masks, sponging over them with watered down ink pad in blue...by whispers. I inked up stamps in the same ink...not watered down though. The Stamps are a set by Tim Holtz, fast becoming another obsession...as if I needed another one. I used bits of the same flourish stamp to decorate around the edges of the tag. Finished off with some charms (the heart says Made with Love), beads and some of my crocheted lace and a tasseled crocheted ribbon. 

 A couple of close ups of the details ...

Delight in a Tag

Another tag to show you. This is actually the first one  I made, though I've shown another in a previous post. Papers again are Kay & Co, fibre Basic Grey, Mask (bird on a branch) by Tando and stamps and distress inks by Tim Holtz.

Hey Man! Tag you're it!

You see here my first tag for a Man, pretty near my first tag too. I've been wanting to try steam punk too, and hope this qualifies. My papers are Kay & Co, the little pix are from a 12x12 of postage style images. The fibre is Basic Grey, the pocket watch, buttons charm and chain are from Beads Direct. The crocheted lace and tie are handmade. 

I hope you can read the sentiment, Travels Inspire. Thought the perfect thing for a 'luggage tag'
