Well hello there dear friends, it's been awhile hasn't it? We went to the lake on July 3rd, and returned home yesterday, the best part we had our kids and grand kids with us the entire time, and had a blast. Now, we are looking forward to going back real soon, only this time I will be taking my craft supplies, and crafting from the boat. No more long absence.
I've been working on this large tag (4x8) for the longest time, the only reason it has taken so long is we've been running back and forth to the lake. I embossed the large tag with Spellbinders M-Bossabilities, then lightly sponged Distress ink over the raised areas. I cut the Standard circle's LG with the Grand Calibur, and made the large rose like I've made in the past, the rest of the flowers are from Prima. The leaf die I used is no longer available (so sorry about that), but some of the new leaf dies now available will work. Last, I used the 18kt. Gold Leafing Pen here and there, then assemble as shown.
Well, that's it for me today, remember you can click on the picture to make them larger for easier viewing, and all supplies are listed below with links.
Thanks for visiting today. Linda ❤❤

I think I died and went to stampers heaven when seeing this tag. Wow! It is just absolutely gorgeous. Somehow when I try to make anything as glamorous as your cards they don't quite turn out the same. But, then when you're a master at something ... you're a master! not a novice like me. Thanks for sharing this with us and I am so glad you had such an invigorating family vacation. Nothing like being with family in the world.
