Baroque Tag



Another great design from Tim.  After thinking about my own supplies for this tag, I decided to use some vintage flocked wallpaper that, frankly, is so gaudy I thought I would never use it.  I had to hand cut the candlestick and candle using a picture of Tim's die for my template.  Came out pretty good.  My greenery is a mix of cut-out stamped swirls and an ersatz leaf cut from kraft glassine.  The letters for PEACE came from some of the goodies Tim gave us on the cruise.  I have used a number of these supplies during Christmas tag construction.  THANK YOU, Tim. 

OK, call me indecisive, or tentative, uncertain...whatever.  Since I did not have the die swirl Tim put above Peace, and could not come up with a substitute, I placed some of the leftover stamped leaves from my bouquet..  Meh. But does it look better with 1 leaf or 2?  Sometimes looking at a pic makes it easier for me to find the best look.  Today?  Not so much.

I stayed in a San Francisco hotel with the same wallpaper, only in olive green! - - - so stuck to the walls, the decorators let it be. It was gorgeous, actually!

I lurk on your blog - love your style.....Jill James
