A just because tag!

Hello lovelies! How are you? I hope you are well. We're good - the girls are at the gym again today - later on there is going to be a Peter Pan party - which will include a treasure hunt and a huge inflatable to play on in the pool - sounds good to me. I'm hoping to go for a run with my friend Rose - then i have to bake Lucy's birthday cake - she will be 9 tomorrow!

Today I want to share a tag with you - I made it just because! I wanted to play with the dragonfly die and so I did!


The tag background was made using distress inks and layering stencils -


I diecut the dragonflies in both card and packaging acetate material - I kept the wing parts of this and coloured then with alcohol inks. I kept the card body parts and coloured with distress inks.


I also added some stamping too.

I would like to enter this into the challenge over at a vintage journey.

Hope you enjoy wednesday!

Big Hugs

    A gorgeous tag Rachel, I've been looking at this die recently and dithering. Think I'll have to buy it now seeing this. Hope the girls enjoy the Peter Pan party and Lucy has a super birthday tomorrow.
