Sea Birds

Here is my tag for this weeks theme of Sea Birds. Still posting at the eleventh hour but better late than never. Must try to do better next week!! 

This tag is quite small just 12cm x 4cm (4.75" x 1.5") as it  is actually a tag which came with a shirt hubby bought from a well known department store. In fact as he buys most of his stuff there I have a small collection of these in various sizes. They are made of strong card and just too good to chuck away in the bin. Besides they come with this nice string already attached! 
I painted the tag front and back with blue  acrylic paint for sky and then the bottom third again with yellow to represent the beach. The small pebbles ,shells and grit are from beachcombing days with the kids years ago and kept in a jar in the shed of all places. The bird was a set of two which came from an online craft shop. I used one on an altered matchbox swap I did a while back and this one was still in my stash box waiting to be used. 


Off to  have a scout round now  for goodies for next weeks tag. See you again soon.
