Tag # 7-27 "Bonne fĂȘte" #onelittletag


Hello again, my friends!
Continuing with my personal challenge today, of using backgrounds and die cuts from my stash, here is another tag.

This background was one that I created within the last few weeks.  I painted the background with a baby wipe, collaged some bits of paper napkins and added gold embossing paste through a stencil.  The butterflies were ones that I created quite a while ago, probably over a year.  They were punched out of vellum, stamped and coloured on the back.


I stamped my sentiment on some scrap paper and punched it out



I assembled my tag, edged the tag in gold ink and mounted it to black card.


Thanks so much for looking, I hope you enjoyed this tag.  Stay tuned for another!


Update!  I have had a few people ask me about gold embossing paste, so I thought I would share a photo of the product.  It is a Viva Decor product called Modelling Cream.  It does have a creamier texture than some pastes.  I purchased it from Amazon.ca.  A special note, I have heard that t cold temperatures can damage this product, so it may be wise to consider that if you are ordering online.  I did make sure to order mine before winter here in Canada last year.  It's a good thing I ordered it when I did because it did take some time to get here

Tag 6-20 "Happy Birthday"


Father's Day fell on my sister's birthday this year, which also happened on the day she was born.  It also was my parent anniversary.  Busy day!
So this tag is for my sister.  She is about 3000 miles away on the other side of the country.  I haven't seen her for several years now, though we speak often. But I miss her.  I was happy to hear that she had a wonderful day with my nephews  
Happy Birthday, Kerry!  Love and miss you xoxo

I made the larger flowers from scraps of patterned paper I had in my stash, as well as the butterfly. I trimmed the tag out of card I have on hand and the foiled die cut with the sentiment is the "waste" from another tag I did. I punched some leftover vellum and added some lace pieces from my stash. I hope she likes it!
