I'm sew happy!

The tag I am sharing tonight is one I made for Colorful Creations monthly challenge.  As I am on the Design Team at Colorful Creations, I like to participate in my follow DT members monthly challenges.  Andrew hosts a Tag of the Month challenge, and this months theme was vintage. 


I started with a 3-1/8" x 6-1/2"  piece of corrugated cardboard and layered that with Jolees Boutique paper pad - French General, rounded the corners on the tag.  I layered lace and red striped paper, also from Jolees Boutique. Next I colored, distressed and cut out my dress form, which is a digi image.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tea dye on the dress form, as well as sponging the larger flower on the paper.  I used Memento Tuxedo Black to stamp the stitched zigzag image and the sentiment, both from Close to My Heart #C1234 Simple Stitches.  I found the snaps, navy thread and navy seam binding at a local thrift store, which had many fun things inside the bag. The flower was made by cutting 6 circles from old pattern tissue.  All other elements were found in my stash.


Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed my tag and I hope you will have a chance to check out Colorful Creations and all that it has to offer.


Catch the Frenzy!
