Feeling Blue

The challenge for Art Creations Friday was to use the background provided.


I used it to make two tags (2½ x 5 inches).
The image was printed on linen effect white paper
& adhered to a mountboard base.
The edges were sanded to & a hole punched in the top.


I made hole protectors from off cuts of the paper
using a circle paper punch & my Crop-a-dile.


The flower was also cut from the paper
& adhered to Adhesive Cotton Fabric sheet from Crafty Computer Paper (now Homecrafts)

This gave the flower strength so that I could manipulate the shape with an embossing tool.


The swirly stamp is by Anna Griffin,
stamped in clear Versamark & heat embossed in gold.


Other elements included clear & gold Accent Beads,
buttons sewn with blue & gold metallic thread, blue glitter gems,
art glitter (Old Gold & Crystal) & ribbon.


The bottom was edged with old lace.
