Tags for a Swap


These tags were made for 2 Tag Swaps.  The first I inked the edges of the tag with Palette Ink (Green Leaf), added K & Co. paper.  The bird and birdcage were cut using Tim Holtz's Bird and Cage die.  They were cut from some thin, black chipboard I had.  After I cut the birds I embossed them with Cuttlebug's Swirls die and used Gold and Green Patina Pearl Effects to bring out the texture.  The birdcage was painted with Picket Fence crackle paint.  The butterfly charm was made with shrink plastic (Inkadinkado's Mindscape's butterfly image).  The cage was finished off with pink dew drops.  

The second tag was made with Cosmo Cricket's Get Campy paper.  The images are from Heartfelt Creations (and I used their matching dies for the leaves).  The rhinestones were some I had on hand (from Michael's, I think).  Thanks for looking!!

  1. I see you used shrink plastic Monica. I love what you can do with it but somehow whenever I use it either the plastic or maybe it's me behaves badly. Might just duck on over for a lesson! LOL
    Both your tags are terrific!

  4. Both tags are just gorgeous Monica. The colours in your autumn leaves tag are devine. I particularly love this Tim Holtz Birdcage and Bird Die and have seen so many wonderful creations using it....yours is no exception. I love your addition of the butterfly charm and bling.

  7. Lovely tags Monica. The one with the bird is very sweet with his little wing sticking out between the bars. The ones with the leaves are so vibrant and just say "Fall"
