I made this tag for the Birds and Bees Crafting Challenge for March 2022 on the Gecko Galz Blog
To make the tag I used a large mdf tag approximately 11 inches long by 51/2 inches wide. I chose to use one of the Gecko Galz ATC's from the Gecko Galz 'Woodwork ATC set', resized in a photo editing program to fit the tag, and printed it out onto matt photo paper. The image of the bird is from the Gecko Galz 'Pretty Little Birds collage set' and I also resized it before printing it out again using matt photo paper. to fit on the front of the tag.
I tore around the image of the bird that I wanted to use so there would be no harsh lines and adhered it onto the front of the tag. I then used sections of a die-cut of a brick wall from Carnation Crafts for around the bottom of the image. Then also using a selection of other die cuts all from Carnation Crafts I tried to make a realistic-looking scene using flowers, ivy, leaves, and grass by cutting sections of each die-cut and arranging them where I thought looked nice.
To finish the decorating of the tag I added a large flat back pearl to the top section of the tag
