Hi everyone and I hope your New Year celebrations went well. I'm kicking off 2013 with a tag, one of my favourite things to make and this one went to a lovely blogging friend who's received it now so I can share it here. As the title says the theme this week at
Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge is an anything goes tea party challenge and hopefully my tag will fit into that.
I cut the tag with my Tim Holtz Alterations Tag and bookplates die from a free hand and stamped watercolour piece that I did a while back and which is another favourite thing to do. I also cut the dress form from my Tim Holtz Alterations Sewing room die and sponged it with co-ordinating inks and some stenciled spots. I used TH chit chat stickers for the sentiment, added flowers, distress stain dyed seam binding, pearl pen dots and one of THs stickers that go round the hole at the top....can't remember what they're called for the moment.
I really enjoyed making this for my friend and can't think of a better way to start off the New Year than with a theme of friendship. Enjoy your day!
