A LOADED TAG..

 Hello everyone,

 Have you ever made some papers, like backgrounds and just couldn't part with the waste ?..

This is what happened here, I was going in one direction and ended up going in another..


So first I wanted to use modelling paste, I'm beginning to love this stuff and seem to want to put it everywhere, on every project.


Left side was good, right side was Hmpff..


Never the less, it dried and I started drizzling paint, colour, raspberry..


with plenty of water..


and ended up with this delicious colour..


Then splattered gold Gansi Tambi Starry colours on..


Then trimmed so I had three panels..


Then this happened ...this scrap was in the bin
and I saved it..
Inked the edges, stamped a  Lavinia flower on it and a little Bee..
very simple and just because, I like this scrap that much with its little bits of paint on it..


So everything got inked and a hole punched and layered up..


and held together with a gold brad..so it swings open and you can also write on the back and it can be popped into a journal..


Then another thing happened..
This is a hidden paper clip, a layered one..
Gorgeous garden style papers with the birdbath and those tiny  ephemera tags hanging 
from the top with  charms, just made me so happy and I needed to use it on this tag.



the charms are this strawberry and some keys from my stash all
linked together with a ball chain..


So paper clip in place tiny tags hanging down onto a quadruple layered tag.


That's a lot of tags in one..


and I love it...

So there you go..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you again soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

This is so 'You' Chrissy, wonderful creations and I like the way you hitched it all together.
Let me share a secret with you, many years ago when I first began paper crafts, I so wanted to to use the stencilling paste but couldn't afford it, so , I used polycell paste, the stuff for patching walls etc, haha, hey it worked and I was so chuffed, haha. That tub of stuff got alot of use I can tell you, not just for patching up cracks when I was decorating....happy days...hahaha. xx

Oh my is that ever pretty, I love your backgrounds with the paste and pretty colors, I love your layering of the tags, and the pretty charms top it off so pretty. I have not made a hidden paper clip yet, but that is one my list of things to try :)

I always use the readymade filler too-works just as well but not used it for a long time.
