Hi Ladies, today I have 2 shabby chic tags to share.
I was inspired by the My Minds Eye In Bloom 6″ paper pad, which has a romantic soft and dreamy feel to it.
Dream Tag
For my 1st tag I chose a pretty floral pp which I contrasted with a cream pp. I framed the floral pp with a pretty stitched ric rac trim, then machine stitched around the edges.
I also used the cream pp to cut out a floral wreath diecut, cut off one end and embellished the diecut with a white Solitude flower and cream Minuette flower. I altered the Solitude flower with a couple of shades of mists, painted on with a small brush, a touch of gesso and a pearl brad for the centre. The white minuette flower was altered with a touch of saltwater taffy mist added to the flower centre with a brush. Finished off the flower cluster with some large cream leaves and a twine bow.
Love the flexible words!! The white is so versatile, as it can be altered to match the colours of your project, which I did here with 2 shades of mist, to give the word a pretty mottled effect.

Love Tag
For the 2nd tag I went with a similar design, but changed it up a little. I chose a floral pp in a larger design and contrasted with a soft pink pp. I framed the floral paper with an antique ric rac from my stash, then machine stitched around the edges. The wreath diecut was backed with mesh and the flowers topped with pearls.
The larger cream flower on my tag came from one of the Value Packs, which as the name suggests are fantastic value!! I altered the edges of the flower with mist and gesso, then dabbed a few drops of pink on the stamens. To create the sweet open blossom, I altered one of the mini blush roses by opening up the petals, pulling out the centre bud and replacing the bud with a pearl brad.
