New tag



Here is my latest tag. I used beads, distress inks, paper flowers and stamps. The bird is made from a coffee filter, stained with distress ink. I used my gel pens to outline the bird and colour in the flowers and leaves. Still working on my lettering and outlining but guess it'll take practice, practice and more practice. Ah, well. I've got three days off so will try to "create" more stuff this weekend.

Happy Easter everyone!

Hey Ruth, I love the texture on this tag. Great idea making the bird out of coffee filters. I hope you find some time to create this weekend. Happy Easter.

Such a beautiful tag. I love the colours, words and most especially the amazing textural feel of this piece. Adding the beads was such a great touch. Wonderful stuff, Ruth!
