Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #8

This week Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge is to make a tag with bling!!  Well, I like anything with bling .  So when I found out what the challenge was, I knew I was going to love it.  Here is what I came up with.

I cut the base of the tag from the SENTIMENTALS cartridge using Recollections tan textured paper. I did this twice and glue both together for a thicker or more sturdy base.  Then I cut the same tag at a smaller size using two different patterned papers.  I cut one of those into two pieces and attached the bottom piece to the other.  I then embossed the bottom half of the tag and  attached some vintage lace to it.  



Now I also cut a round scalloped tag from the SENTIMENTALS cartridge and a small circle from GEORGE AND BASIC SHAPES.  The sentiment stamp is from Inkadinkado.  the circle was added to the scalloped tag along with a butterfly and small flowers.  Lastly I added to it the Brenda Walton "grand adhesive" sticker.  Isn't it pretty with the lady's profile and all the bling.  



Once that was done, I attached it to the larger tag and added a vintage style border, buttons from my grandmother's tin two pretty sheer ribbon bows and three sweet pink pearls.  I think this is one of my most favorite projects.  

Now, I hope you will go on over to the Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge and check out the fabulous work of  Stephanie, and the Design Team.  They are sure to please.  And most of all, please join us in this fun challenge.
