Vintage Shabby Chic Style

Vintage style tag

I made the tag for the "Blooming Beauties" monthly Challenge for April 2021 on the Gecko Galz Blog. 

It is always fun to join the Challenges on their Blog and on their Facebook group.

The image of the lady is from "Pretty Portraits 1" by the Gecko Galz and was printed onto photo paper and sized to fit the tag. I coated the image with Ranger Distress Glaze to bring out the vibrancy of the image and to protect it.

The size of the tag is 8 inches by 41/2 inches and made out of strong white cardstock.

I used script paper for the background to decorate and then a rectangle of leaf patterned paper that was each adhered to the tag, one on top of the other. Then I adhered the image onto the tag. Lace was used to decorate the base of the image. I then used a die-cut of a pretty flower in black and white that I painted with Ranger Distress Oxide Vintage Photo mixed with water to match the tag.

At the top, I used another die-cut and adhered the word "Memories" in the centre of that. I also lightly painted it to tone it down so it will also match the tag.

Along the base of the tag, I used a lace trim to decorate. Then I added a large flat back pearl embellishment to the centre of the flower and small flat backed pearl embellishments in three of the corners around the image
