Easter

My tag represents what Easter means to me. I love Simnel cake, all that marzipan! And of course chocolate and as my mother is a very keen gardener; as a child our garden always seemed to be full of daffs, tulips and polyanthus in these colours- Easter/Spring to me!
I cut the egg shaped tag from a box that I no longer needed, photo copied and coloured the info on Simnel cakes. Flowers were some that were already in my stash and some were punched. Flowers were stitched to some lime green organza to add depth and texture. Re-purposed a piece of a broken necklace to hang it.

  11. This gorgeous tag sums up perfectly the tastes, colours, textures of Easter and I can almost smell the freshness of those flowers.
