...hello everyone, well it's now three weeks now since I've posted on my blog, I've almost forgotten what to do!...I've managed to get my DT pieces for CraftWork Cards done but alas can't show those yet, my Daughter has the baby blues so she and baby Emmie are taking all my time at present, but today I've had a play and made a quick tag to share with you...
...I gave a plain manilla tag a light coating of frayed burlap distress ink then a random brushing of watercolour in forest moss...
...a little music tissue & crackle distress in broken china added here & there along with stars in wild honey & sprinkled with stardust stickles, candy cane twine & rustic bells...
...a quick festive tag, I hope you like it...
...thank you for dropping by today, I really appreciate your visit and comments...
...much loVe...

Hi Mel,
ReplyDeleteGlad you've managed to find time to play. Love your latest creation. The background looks fab against the bold heart, and the little stars finish it all off beautifully. Can't wait to see your CWC samples. xx
Hi Mel, a really fabulous tag, love how that vibrant red just pops off the tag and those beautiful aged bells are amazing. You certainly have not lost your touch. Sorry to hear that your Daughter has the baby blues, hope it all turns out well for everyone soon. Nice that you have had some craft time too. Crafty hugs, Anne x

If anything crafty can chase away those baby blues it's this beautiful creation :-D I can fully empathise with your poor daughter. I'm sending best wishes for a speedy shift back to her 'old self' :0)

I'm sure with your help that your daughter will pull through and settle to enjoy her beautiful baby girl - it's a tough time as I recall but worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteThis tag is delicious. Love the textures, the splash of the red heart and the little rusty looking bells - adorable! Have a good week.

Your tag is really great, I wish I could come up with a 'quick' tag that looked this good. Hope your daughter is feeling better soon. Helen
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous tag - I love the rustic bells, the delightful little stars, the music, the bakers twine.....! It has a rather festive feel I think - just adorable.
ReplyDeleteHope your daughter starts to feel better soon - how lucky that you are right there for her.
Nice that you got some time to play Mel.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag work.
Babies are all consuming that is for sure. I know your
daughter and grand baby are blessed to have you as a mom
and grandmother. Hugs for everyone from this old grandma too.
So nice to see you back Mel, I'm sure you are rushed off your feet doing nappies, baths, washing, food and generally try to keep everything ship shape. All that and you've managed to make an amazing tag, are you Wonder Women?! It's gorgeous. A big hi to Emmie. Michelle xx
