Diamond Jubilee

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fab time
 on this lovely extended bank holiday weekend here in the UK
 Here is my tag to mark this wonderful occasion,
 it has two layers

some glitter and a little bit of bling!

 the stitched diamond layer underneath

Tag: Printed card 
Embellishments: Austrian crystal & glitter
2nd layer: Vilene with organza overlay & trapped Angelina fibres and iridescent sequins.
Tie: red white & blue ribbons & a clear bead.

Did anyone spot this in the supermarket this week ?
 a retro style box of Frosties! .....as soon as I popped it in the trolley I spotted the beginnings of a tag......grrreat :)

Here in Fife we have really lucked in with the weather it's been so nice and it has kept us busy out in the garden and getting our caravan ready for the summer.

  6. I never saw the retro box in our local Tescos but I've always loved Frosties. Everything in the supermarket seemed to have union jacks and patriotic wrappings tho'. I wish it was like that all the time. gr-r-r-r-eat tag Yvonne x

  7. Inspiration for tags can come in the most unlikeliest of places can't it!?! I Love the sparkly diamond shape topped with a blinged out cereal box piece - can materials be oxymorons? Because I believe this just may be one :D
