Crafty Friends Challenge #4 - Anything But a Card

I am back with my project for the Crafty Friends Challenge - it is Heather's turn to host and she has challenged us to create Anything But a Card - this challenge makes me smile as I never considered myself an 'off the page' person, but them someone called it 'Altered Art' and I was there instantly, 'hit the ground with my feet running' and not looked back! LOL!

This week I have created a Nostalgic Tag - it was very quick and easy to create and just perfect for the gorgeous hanger my kids got me for Mother's Day, where I hang my divine vintage lace.....(just quietly - I know it was my DH who brought on the kids behalf - love it that he knows me so well and got the perfect gift - definitely keeping him!)

The image the tag is based on is from Crafty Secrets (love them), as it the little ticket.

Some thick Ricrac is added down the side and the gorgeous pearl trim is from the Craft Queen, I savour each little bit of it!

The wings are from Spellbinders Paper Arts, one of NinaB Designs Licensed Dies - they are cut with vellum and has 3D Kindy Glitz added, I was not sure how this would work out but an very happy with the results.  A mulberry rose has been added and then some of the divine bling from Want2Scrap, this is also designed by NinaB Designs - Nina is everywhere - don't you love that!

You can see where the tag has found a home....right next to my desk!

  9. Oh Linda this is just fabulous - love the colours and textures and all of it!! I have tried Kindy glitz on vellum, and it warped :-(. I suspect I may have been a bit heavy handed with it.
