Couldn't pass this theme up since it is one of my favorites. And I didn't have to venture far to find the perfect items for my tag. They are: a torn piece of paper from a Victorian scrapbook that I had stamped a bird on, spine from an old songbook...I didn't know that underneath the cover I would find these music staffs, a page from an early shorthand textbook, and vintage-look washi tape. I added grunge up the sides with a little Tim Holtz Tea Dye and Rusty Grunge. The paper was so fragile that I attached it to a Sears and Roebuck tag leaving the original shape. Added some gauzy ribbon and.... viola... something a little different. I do so enjoy visiting tag creations.. I wish I was able to respond more often. Please know I am an avid looker.LOL
Enjoy. Beth
This is so interesting! Where do you find things like shorthand textbooks and Victorian scrapbooks!? I want to thank you for your comment on my blog about "Fall Table" It is so appreciated. I am so fascinated by your work and am just entering the world of multiple layers with the journal pages at Fall Fearless and Fly. I have collected lots of stuff but still don't have a concept that comes to mind for doing many layers with whatever my design idea is about. It will come with practice ,I am sure!
