3-D tag…

I’ve created this 3-D tag using Prima papers from the Watercolor paper line as well as the Tim Holtz “Caged Bird” Sizzix die.  I used grunge paper so that I could made the bird cage dimensional.  More details below…

I haven’t posted a tag in a while (I don’t make that many really).  So, I thought this was a good week to share one with you.  I made it for my DT post.   This month’s kit was all about Prima and Tattered Angels!  Yummy!!   The tag is using the #8 (Tim Holtz fav. size) shipping tag; which I backed with chipboard to make it more durable.

First, I sprayed it with Pashmina, Pink Taffy, and Delphinium Glimmer Mist. Then I stamped and heat embossed a gold lace border using the Tattered Angels/Heidi Swapp Rockin’ Renaissance stamp set.  I also used a dictionary stamp from the same set  (behind the bird), and distressed the edges of my tag with my edging tool and randomly painted on Broken China Distress Crackle paint.  I added some gorgeous Prima papers from the kit across the center and top of the tag.  I die cut the birdcage using Grunge Board so I could make it 3-dimensional.  Can you see the cute  little bird?  He’s decked out in Prima paper and a matching feather with a gem for an eye.

I hope you like it and that it inspires you in your own crafting.  I know with summer here, it’s hard to stay inside!  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I am always grateful when you visit my little spot online. ♥

Have a weekend! xx
