April's 'Whatever' Tags

These were for a swap over on UKS (you don't say) !  The swaps forum underwent a few changes and it meant we would have been without swaps *shock horror* for a whole month at least!  As it turned out, we were thrown a life line and we got to do some tags.  I did something COMPLETELY alien to me ... I made girly tags AND I used baby pink on them :lol:

When they were completed and I showed them to my hubby Tony, he said they looked like I had printed them when the printer was acting up and it had printed them banded !  ... thanks for the vote of confidence dear :lol: -  this 'banding' is actually clear embossing ! 

I used white linen card (again - I like the texture) and inked around the edges, stamped the postcard writing on the top, printed off a vintage image from The Graphics Fairy ? (I think) then I versamarked a script stamp and clear embossed (faulty printer alert !!) over the photo (I'm not actually sure I like the effect but I wasn't doing them again) ... I had deadlines to keep :lol:  Added a strip of lace to the bottom and added 2 small flowers, one in pink to bring out the faint bit of pink in the pics ... and there you have it 'girly and pink ... from me *shock*

  1. Baby pink? You?! I think not. Actually they look more vintage pink to me and they are very pretty. Love the stamping.
