When I saw Rebecca's challenge this week over at the
Blog Challenge Garden's 'Tag Tuesday' challenge, I knew what I wanted to do. I have a special folder in Picasa for just such a project, and that's the first place I headed! A vintage bride, an old (very fuzzy) copy of a marriage license, a vintage-y button, some vintage hem lace, and a cute sparrow sending joy, and there you have my tag. I wanted a very mono-tone look and feel, but with one big pop of color - expressing joy on this day - and I think that's what I ended up with in this tag. Here is my project . . .
The tag base was cut using my Cricut Expression and the Elegant Edges cartridge, Branch-s using Oblong feature set at 4 1/4". I hand cut the bride's picture and the swallow image.
I don't know who the bride is, but can't you just imagine her bundling up her license, her picture, a card from a loved one, and a bit of lace from her dress, all tied up in a bundle and storing it in her trunk? I can!
Blessings, Becky
