Bunting.

Hi everyone. It's a beautiful morning here in Wiltshire, but I'm watching the news and in fine British style it's about to change for the bank holiday. I'm still in holiday mood though from my too brief stay in Cornwall earlier this month and have the salty tang and seabird cry still in my blood stream, so for this week I have done another 'beach' tag!
Tag Tuesday. Bunting
I have just simply watercoloured a lovely stamp I recently found of beach huts and a boat. Then I added little pieces of streamer cut up for the bunting across the top. This is the second try as I placed all the little pieces on the tag yesterday and then had to go to work , but when I came in and went to glue them down I forgot and they all fluttered to the floor and I couldn't find them. Second attempt, then added a little piece of ribbon flag and the stamp Life's a Beach on the bottom with more decoupaged bunting.
All your tags are wonderful, I love all the different styles. I hope you all have a lovely week, I feel as if I know so many of you now!xx

This is so lovely - it really does sum up the summer, and I love the bunting - just perfect.

Barb I was laughing to myself as I read this post because I cannot count the many times I've been on my hands and knees searching for bits of paper that have fluttered down to the floor under my work table. Often I just re-cut the thing. What a lively happy tag. Nice! *smiles* Norma

Oh, don't you just hate it when crafty bits that you need disappear!!..and it's funny how they re-appear when you have made new ones!!
A beautiful, creative and summery tag..LOVE it!!
