I am feeling very domestic with all of the baking and sewing tags I've been creating. In reality, I have not baked in months, and have not sewn in years. I had fun making these tags, though. The '50's woman and the cake are from Unity Stamps. I was really drawn to these images, but had no idea what I was going to do with them until I saw this week's theme. The colors I chose were popular then, and I found the perfect tiny polka dot paper to paper piece her dress. I added stickles and pearls to glam up the cake.
I was late on the Sewing theme, so I am adding it to the end here.
The sweet little girl is from a vintage ad for the Willimantic Thread Company, the tape measure is stamped in brown with gold Twinking H2O's, and I added a bit of vintage lace.
I love seeing the variety of creations on these tags, lots of talent here!
Really like both tags; you definitely have an eye for color!
ReplyDeleteYour tags are awesome. I can't imagine doing the paper pieced dress!!! Bravo.
ReplyDeleteI like how you use real tags. I think I would struggle paring mine down to size. I did it one week and didn't like it. Think I need more practice.
