The tag is a recycled Next clothing tag which already has a vintage look to start with and has some black printing on it which shows through. I thought I would use a great bit of scrap vintage lace hanging about on my desk, together with a gorgeous image I had printed off for something else! To tone in with the image, I had just the right shade of scrim, which is actually lint given to be by a radiographer in the scanning department of my local hospital when I had to have something nasty done last year. I had commented on the unusual colour of the lint and how great that would be in my crafting - she gave me nearly a whole packet!!
Anyway, I digress. I then added a velvet flower at the top and used an old brooch which has a stone missing but still looks ok (I think). I added two bits of a coat tag chain which had broken, a rusty photo corner and I am pleased with result.
PS Sorry if I haven't commented on everyone's tags, I did start but ran out of time as there are so many members now but I think all the tags are inspirational and I really love looking at them.
I just love your tag...I collect different clothing tags and you have inspired me to use them. The brooch is a beautiful accent and the vintage flower is wonderful!!

ReplyDeleteI think the brooch looks all the better for having a stone missing - it just adds to the vintage look. Gorgeous tag.
