Sorry, it's another tag!! A couple of places were looking for a kraft project. What a great colour for the blokes so I decided to play with some kraft card, DI Walnut Stain and Barn Door and my Cheery Lynn English Tea Party Doily. I know, you are all thinking man card, doily?? But I think it works. See what you think......
So, here it is. It's a bit of a super size tag, 10 x 17cm. I wanted to use the English Tea Party Doily so I cut one out of kraft and then I wondered if I could cut the tag top to match?? Don't you love these strange ideas that sometimes pop into the brain cell?? Now at this point I realised that if I had an angel wing for this doily it would be easier, but I don't, so after a bit of fiddling I managed to get it all set with my top cutting plate just covering the bit I wanted cut out. Sorry, so intrigued by the process forgot to take a picture. Anyway, I would say it was almost a perfect success. A little bit of overcut but since I was layering the doily on top, no problem. I embossed the tag with Sizzix Retro Circles and added some DI.
The letters are die cut using Sizzix Ida Lou's Flower Box alphabet and a scrap from The Box. Hurrah, use those scraps!! I used a wood button at the top and sewed it on with embroidery thread and a butterfly bubble sticker in the middle.

You certainly pulled off this manly tag, Gail--even with that doily. I think it is the color that does it! Also love that bit of wood--another masculine element! Well done, all 'round!
This kid always reminds me of Max from "Where the Wild Things Are" - full of fun and mischief! Lovely rich colours and texture! Thanks so much for playing along with us at A Blog Named Hero!
WOW, super fun, & you did make doilies work for a guy!
