Well, two posts in one day because I have another tag to share with the Tag-along and ATC challenge where the theme this time is to incorporate text within the project. I started by cutting the tag from a very old paper pad which has a selection of black and white text pages - quite thin paper so I glued it onto a matching white tag before then cutting another one using red card. This red one was offset slightly to give the appearance of a swinging tag. A small black sentiment outline die was used, folded in half and glued to the top pf the tag rather than threading a ribbon through. The birds on the branch and also the ones on the wire were die cut from black card and glued in place. A few small 'splodge' stamps were used on the background for added interest. I think this one might well end up being used as a card topper, probably for a masculine card.
Tag Die - an unbranded one from Amazon
White Tag - text paper pad by Papermania from many years ago
Bird dies - also unbranded ones which I've had for some time
I really like the stark contrast of the b/w with the red. Great idea to maybe use for a card too. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Tag-along (and ATCs).
ReplyDeleteA lovely tag and a great idea to use it on a masculine card at some point. xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat tag, I like the black and white with the red, elegant and stylish!
ReplyDeleteLooks really smart in the mono colours with pop of red Val and that text just perfect for our theme at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge, many thanks for joining us again.

Fab tag Val, I love the contrast of the black and white with the red swinging tag, and the great combo of stamping with the little birdie dies. Xx
ReplyDeleteHi Val
ReplyDeleteYour tag is great .. .. and I agree .. .. it would look great on a card front.
It's lovely to use up some of the old papers isn't it!
Love and hugs
