Shore Birds

First THANK YOU everyone on for your lovely comments on my tag last week - I so enjoyed sharing my Mum's pic with you. It certainly is one my favorite tags...
For this week I started with an illustration from an old Universal Encyclopedia of Ready Reference - I loved the sepia colours. 
The tag background is a piece of corrugated cardboard that I stitched the graphic to along with some scrap paper and vintage lace. I added the buttons as a final embellishment. Enjoy. Jewels
