Tag #2

This next tag is very similar to the first tag I shared on my previous post, in the fact that it has a bow on top, and the center of attention is in the center of the tag as well.

As you can see, I used on this tag the piece from the inside of the frame I used on the previous tag I shared. I really don't like to waste, plus I love the shimmer it showed. I just had to use it right away.

The background of the tag is designer paper from the K&Co. Watercolor Bouquet Collection, and I sprayed it using Blazing Sun Glitz Spritz.

The bird cage and bird are both from the Mover's and Shaper's line of Tim Holtz's Alterations. I cut them out of light weight chipboard, and embossed them using Lindy Stamp Gang Embossing Powders. On the bird cage I did regular embossing using Spring Leaf Chartreuse Embossing Powder, after spraying some parts with My Mojito Green Starburst Spray. On the bird, I did the Intaglio Technique (you can watch a tutorial on how it is done HERE), using Kaiser Rudolph Russet Embossing Powder.
I used one of my Stamping up punches, and punched out the label where I stamped the word Paris. This stamp is also from the same TJ Designs Rubber Stamp Set I used on Tag #1, which I shared on my previous post.

I sprayed that label with my Glory of the Seas Gold Starburst Stain. I added some punch out leaves I punched with one of my Martha Stewart punches, pearls, and some pompom trim on both the bottom of the tag, and the mat underneath the birdcage. I used some ivory organza ribbon, as well as some pink seam binding to add a bow to the top of the tag, which I finished, by adding a small flower applique I found in my stash.
When I think of springtime, I think of bright colors, birds and butterflies. This tag to me screams springtime. More to come  =D
