Artful Tag

Simon Says Stamp and Show - Some Stripes!
Compendium of Curiosities -Altered Metal Alcohol Inks, Page 56 of the book.
Sunday Stamper - Numbers.
I decided to create a tag this time around for the three challenges above.  My stripes come from a piece of 12 x 12 paper by Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante Collection which I machine stitched onto a tag using black thread. The Altered Metal Alcohol Ink technique has been applied to my flowers and my ARTFUL Philosophy tag at the top. The stamps I have used are from Oxford Impressions which are becoming a favourite of mine. My numbers are self explanatory.
I have added wings from the Heart Wings die, snaps to one edge of the wings, black lace and co-ordinated buttons. Enjoy you day and thanks for stopping by, Tracy x x

    Lovely tag, Tracy. I envy you your black cotton. I don't change my cotton until it runs out so I have got about a kilometre of white left...

    This is such a wonderful vintage tag, Tracy! I love the Steampunk Debutante papers, and you've taken this design to a whole new level of gorgeousness! The altered metal is lovely, and the buttons and snaps and lace loo amazing with the stitching. "Artful" is the right word, for sure!

    Love this tag Tracy, especially to have sewn on the paper to set the tone! Clever to put soft 'furnishings' with altered metal!
