Easter Calendar Again

 This project was made using the dies which came as Day 2 of the Calendar and I decided to use them for a tag - something to get me back into the swing of tag making ready for the new challenge which starts on 1st of May HERE.  I started by die cutting a tag using kraft card and smooshed some Distress Oxide ink, adding some background stamping using various visual texture stamps from my collection.  The 'honeycomb' style heart die was part of the mystery , as were the flowers and leaves.  The larger cream heart, the golden bees and the little hexagon hole protector were cut using dies from my stash. It's onwards now to day 3 and Day 4 of the Calendar which are already no longer a mystery, with Day 5 to come tomorrow.  Watch this space to see what I manage to make next.  So far I've avoided seeing what other people have made with their dies until I've made something myself 😊😊.
