While perusing fellow blogger Heather Lynn's blog, I was introduced to a new challenge blog Artful Times.
(How many times can you say 'blog' in one sentence?)
I always like a good challenge and their first one is right up my alley - TAGS!
Without further ado, here's my tag:
I dressed up a pre-made tag with strips of paper from My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline {Fiddlesticks}
Added some washi tape, a rose using Spellbinders Spiral Blossoms One die,
leaves from the Foliage die and some pearls from Zva Creative.
The sticker is from Studio 112. (Don't pass up those dollar bins, folks. There's crafty gold in them!)
Oh, and there's some Glimmer Mist in there, too.
I punched the bottom using Martha Stewart's deco fan punch.
I attached that to another tag I cut with my Cricut and put some ribbon through the top to finish it off.
Here's a close up of the rose. Two little Prima flowers were tucked in to keep it company . . .
This tag will be attached to a gift bag which contains a paper bag mini I made.
I can't share all of it until next week on the off chance that she might see it,
but here's a peek . . .
Go on over to Artful Times to submit a tag of your own!
I love, love, love this tag! That rose is beautiful! Hey can I use the spellbinder dies in a cuttlebug? You've got me wanting to try them ;D
ReplyDeleteYes, you sure can! Be warned, they are very addictive!
DeleteBeautiful tag! What I love about the rose die is no two roses are the same...at least not for me! You did a lovely job and I cannot wait to see the rest of your sneak peak!
ReplyDeleteThank you and I agree! It's so neat to see what other people do with the same supplies.
DeleteWhat a beautiful tag Melissa. So glad you came over from Heather's blog to join us on Artful Times for our first ever challenge. Hope you join us again some time. Love your rose.
