I've been out of circulation with all the challenges I enjoy lately and started out to make a tag for Frankie's Tag It On challenge which is Embossing of any kind this week.
My head was buzzing with ideas and I started with blending Brushed Corduroy DI around my tag and stamping a Crafty Individuals text before adding the swirls in Vintage Photo which I clear embossed.
The butterflies (Graphicus) were stamped with Brilliance brown, clear embossed and painted with Brilliance sage green. Liquid pearls were added for the body. I really love using this at the moment. It has been in my stash for ages unused, but now I've found a use for it, there's no stopping me!!
The flowers were punched and then cuttlebugged and a touch for DI rubbed over before I added a gem for the centre. The flowers were a second attempt, the first ones were brown but I've been making cream roses for a Wedding card and decided they worked better with the tag so the originals were pulled off and replaced.
I added some fake stitching around the edge just to finish it off and while browsing Blogland tonight found I could also enter it into the Allsorts challenge "In Stitches" (just) and also Simon Says Stamp "Things With Wings" so I feel I've been quite productive this week.
Thank you as always for stopping by and leaving such lovely comments. I always enjoy reading them.

What a gorgeous tag! As always Lisa any project you do is inspiring, so complicated (in comparison with my stuff!). Mmm... not sure about us down south basking in the sunshine - I am wearing 2 fleecy jumpers as I write!!! Jill x

Stunning tag - the white flowers are a real contrast against the darker background.

Hi Lisa - Soory I don't get round that often at the moment - the garden and house are taking up most of my time at the moment and I'm missing my blogging and crafting so much. There are some lovely projects on here since my last visit - especially this tag - love that vintage look.

This tag is gorgeous Lisa. I love the blended Brushed Corduroy and the little butterflies are so pretty. I'd never thought of using Brilliance for colouring in. The flowers look lovely too.
Hope you had a good weekend.

Hi Lisa, I'm just starting to catch up. I love this tag. The flowers and butterflies are gorgeous. I've had some liquid pearls in my stash for years and never used them. Maybe I should get them out again!
