Birdy birdy tweet tag

Good morning all - hope you are well - and welcome followers and friends old and new!

As this goes live I will probably be running around trying to get my kiddlywinks sorted ready to go off to brownie/guide 'holiday'. We're off to the cheese factory in Hawes - and even though Penny and Lucy are not old enough to be guides/brownies we have been doing the Wallace and Gromit inventors badge at Rainbows so I think they'll feel pretty much like they know what's happening.

anyways - for today I've got a tag to show you - inspired by the challenge set by Hels Sheridan over at the Sunday stampers - this tag, I feel, is somehow unfinished and its destined to go on a card when I get the time - hopefully soon!.




My tag was made using an inkessentials tag that I stained with worn lipstick distress stain - then added faded jeans DI around the edges. I overstamped using papermania urban stamps then sprayed with spary and sparkle irridescent. The bird was stamped onto kraft card and cut out. The cage is a marianne die and the key is another urban stamp. The flowers were made using the small 6 petaled flower from the tattered florals die and then sprayed and added to the tag.

I'd like to enter my tag into the following challenges please:

cardcrafterscircle: Texture
willowsketchiechallenge theme - favourite colouring medium - distress inks and stains
inthepinkchallenge - punches and dies
pennyschallenges: Anything goes
divasbydesignchallenge: Anything goes
digidarlas: Die cuts
glitternsparklechallengeblog: Things with wings
Sunday Stamperpinkleart: Birds.

I'll try and get these linked up before I leave! Apologies in advance for not commenting this weekend - will try to catch up on Sunday night!

Big Hugs
