Vintage

Here's my tag for this weeks Vintage theme.

I used 7gypsies paper to cover my tag, added a vintage ticket and the image is recyled from a rather neat clothes tag from River Island a few years ago. Knew it would come in handy:) I distressed the edges and added a metallic rub on, although that hasn't shown up too well on the scan.

I'm planning to actually use my tags on presents this year, I think they'll look really good with simple brown parcel paper and twine or ribbon. I'll have to try and remember to take a picture of them before they get given!!! Will I be able to resist asking for the tag back?! YES!

Looking forward to seeing all the other tags which are sure to be amazing and I have to say sometimes for me a little daunting but always inspirational.

Have a good week Karenx
