Hi All
I have some of those fabulous Graphic 45 papers which I tend to 'stroke' rather than play with, but have decided they must make more of a showing and of course one of my new year resolutions is to use more of my supplies, so I am hitting that one still.
The tag was covered with some gold, flower embossed paper and I used both the Steampunk Débutante and Le Romantique Graphic 45 paper pads for the elements.
To add to that, this includes a stamp by Andy Skinner, a couple of Memory Box dies and a flower made with a Spellbinders die.
Oh and the little black flower on the top hat is an earing.
The earing and the butterflies were heat embossed.
I know it doesn't look much but it's taken me a whole weekend to put this together - why do I always spend so much time, cutting, changing, re-arranging and re-designing things????
So I hope it brings a little inspiration to some-one.
thought would also share a couple of pics from my workshop on Saturday. These great ladies made a mini album with me ready to take home and add their photos.
I need to take some photos of my album to show you too.
Have a great week.

What a gorgeous tag Brenda, so brave of you to cut that gorgeous paper lol. I'm not surprised it took you ages with all those beautiful details but sometimes thats half the fun of crafting isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing pics of your album

ReplyDeleteBrenda , you have a gift, stunning work.
ReplyDeleteI was not into steampunk before I started blogging, but watching all you girls using the steam punk images , I think I love it now.
Glad you had a good week.

Beautiful tag, you have brought all those gorgeous little bits and pieces together so well. I have this pad as well and, so far, have only plucked up courage to cut into a couple of sheets but after seeing yours I think a tag would make it easier for me to 'attack' the pad with the scissors.
ReplyDeleteBrenda, your tag is spectacular! I'm glad I came by to see your work today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great inspiration piece!
Hi Brenda, what a beautiful tag, such a lovely composition, everything works together beautifully. Another with this pad, that I look at but don't touch LOL XX
