We had another sponsor reveal today on Scrap That Moment and this time it was Mermaid Tears, who makes some fab flowers as well as some interesting metal embellishments, gems and a series of paper dolls. For my sponsor layout I did Feeding the Birds which uses a couple of photos I took outside of Notre Dame Cathedral (Paris) while we were watching this lovely older gent feeding the sparrows.
I also did up this tag. I’m not much of a tag person, and I rarely use vintage images because of the lack of a printer, however I’m quite chuffed with the way this turned out. I think I may just do a few more of these. I may even create some sort of book out of them. For now, I’ll add it to the ever-increasing project pile and do them now and again when I get the chance.
I used a BasicGrey tag as a template for my tag, which I cut out of regular cardstock. I then layered up several different 7Gypsies patterned papers, inked it over with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Old Paper, then chalked over the entire thing with several colours of Craf-T chalks. A bit of cranberry coloured embossing powder was added to the edges, and the words were stamped in cranberry ink using Ma Vinci stamps. Then it was just a matter of cutting the image, and adding the image, flower, yarn and tube to finish the whole thing off.
