A bit of layering, a few die cuts and a minor incident of Crop-a-dile Nipple (I'm sure you've all suffered from that) later and one quick and CAS tag was the result.
I've had no end of fun trying to get a photo of it on this gloomy morning - whatever lighting I used, it seemed to want to make the silver look gold, so I took the photo with several different white balance settings. I'm not really happy with any of them but this is the least bad!

EDIT: so Crop-a-Dile Nipple isn't a well known Thing? Maybe it's just me then - when using my Crop-a-Dile to add eyelets, I sometimes hold the handles too near to one of my boobs and when I squeeze hard to seal the eyelet down, the handles come closer together and squish anything in their way..... hard! It doesn't half bring tears to your eyes!
Really pretty tag, I love the design. Is the snowflake in the centre a pinch or a die? xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply on my blog......glad you realised I meant a punch not a pinch! LOL!
DeleteHi Jane. Lovely to see something different - and well done for having finished the cards. I am not there yet.
ReplyDeleteThis time of the year is so bad for getting the right colours so we all understand. I have to admit to not knowing about Crop-a-dile Nipple. Is it something that can be discussed in public? (smiling)
Thank you for joining in.

Thank you Jane. I haven't got one and I don't think I want one. I was talking to a friend whilst reading this and she knew what you meant.

So elegant it looks Jane
ReplyDeleteBeautifully embellished. Love it xxx
ReplyDeleteadorable tag, I love the snowflake.
ReplyDeleteJust perfect Jane! I did giggle about your 'industrial injury' and cottoned on right away - ouch! Tags are so popular in the Playground right now and this really is a beauty! Isn't that strange that the camera was so determined to change the silver to gold - mind you, at one point today around lunchtime it looked like dusk here!

Sounds just like a mamogram. Now I had gold changed to silver on a photo last week - How strange. Your tag looks beautiful Jane. Barbxx
ReplyDeletePerfect tag Jane love the snowflake die cut
ReplyDeleteGot the same problem Jane with the colour change. I love your tag and good to see something else besides cards. Thank you for joining I and how good are you finishing your Christmas cards. Wynn DT CD Sunday
ReplyDeleteSuffice to say that having Crop-a-dile nipple may have also impacted your ability to take photographs, Jane. Cry-key! I threw mine straight into the recycle bin on September 5, 2011 for that very thing. Not that I remember it like it was yesterday or anything. Cough. Your blue and silver tag is stunning! I love the dimension of a rhinestone in a snowflake in a circle in a scallop in a layer, layer, layer! Well done!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteMy word Jane, I will be very careful now using my crop-a-dial, sounds very painful, but in spite of all that you have made a lovely tag, i have to say i do love tags, thanks for joining us at CD Sunday.
