Lace and wax

here is my tag for this week's theme of lace

it's a long thin tag measuring 18 x 6 cm
with a vintage image of a little girl wearing a white dress
which just needed a little lace to pretty it up

such a sweetie
I dipped the photo in wax
for a lovely translucent look and waxy feel
edged the tag in lace fabric with a lace flower
printed the words on torn vellum
finished with two mother of pearl hearts
and lace ribbon to hang

at the bottom of the tag ...
I love this texture in the wax ♥

super tags everyone!
