Hello everyone
I had a good day today. I went shopping with Paula to a craft shop in Farnborough and spent money then when I got home I was straight on the internet spending more on craft items. I need to get back to work to stop spending except I don't want to be there lol. The funny thing is for the project I am about to mumble on about, I used stuff I already had and not the new.
I made a tag for a birthday as we always need them in reserve and I do have a few birthdays this month. Another reason for making this is a fellow crafter, Chana who is also one of my design team for Eclectic Ellapu has started her own challenge blog - Nicely Done Designs and the challenge this week is to include the folowing in a project so I thought I would give it a go and mention her new blog.
Glitter
Brads
Tag(s)
Kraft Paper
Rubber Stamp
I used chipboard for the tag, painted stamped and clear embossed using music stamp. I then stamped musical instruments over the top (not that you can see all that much of it lol)
I used distress ink over the tag. I printed a couple of Jazz pics and mounted them on Kraft card. I added text to the Jazz player. I stamped the music over another piece of kraft card and then clear embossed a pianist from the same stamp set. I fixed the images to the tag using a brad I covered in glamour dust and two photo clips from my stash.
I stamped some ordinary seam binding using musical clef and notes and used distress ink on top. I wound the binding round the tag and then through the eyelets for the tag hanger.
I do hope you like this project. It feels to me like a clean and simple project as not as fussy as my usual work.
Anyway thats it for today
Hugz and love Elaine xxx

Gorgeous tag, Elaine. Love the colours and your jazzy details Definitely cleaner and simpler that your usual elaborate work but I suspect CAS purists would disagree! LOL. No matter...it's a beautiful work of art!
