Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers who visit my blog. Today's post is a tag I made for a swap at yourpaperpantry.ning.com and was hosted by Kate of Tennessee. I have met so many nice ladies at the pantry and have made some really great friends from all over the world.
My tag was made with a base of grunge board cut into the shape of a tag. I used distress ink to ink the raised areas of the grunge board. I used Sure Cuts A Lot to cut a bird cage SVG and then cut out the center to make the hive. I placed to layers of netting, black and gold behind the hive. For the honey, I colored UTEE with butterscotch alcohol ink and melted it on to the netting. The bee is a dollar stamp from Michael's or Joann's..can't remember which. The flight path of the bee is a cloth wire from my stash.
The charm, which represents dripping honey, is vintage beading from the thrift store...
