Mom turns 92 in about a week and this is the card I made for her. I used a stencil and white paint over a piece of scrapbook paper then tinted it slightly with colored pencils and inks.
I glued a scrap of white mulberry paper on the back of a die-cut butterfly then embellished it with glossy accents. The label was hand-made then stamped. The corner bits are just paper hole punches.
As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.
Until next time, take care.
Let us resolve, in this new year, to push back against the fashionable narrative. Reality is messy, and it always exceeds our grasp. That is not a counsel of despair; on the contrary. It is rather a call to guerrilla warfare against endlessly repeated banalities and untruths. - John Wilson

To make this tag, I applied a reproduction of a vintage luggage tag (Cavallini & Co.) on a tag cut from a recycled box and used various inks to distress it. The ladies were cut from an image found on the net and they're standing on a strip of Design Tape (Holtz) and a scrap of sewing pattern tissue. The text was typed in Photoshop, reverse printed and applied using my image transfer technique.

Couldn't help but use an image I stumbled across at the British Library's Photostream for a Christmas tag which I printed on regular computer paper then tinted with colored pencils and watercolor. I stamped the top and bottom to fill-in the white space (Tim Holtz Faded Type) after pasting on heavy-weight kraftstock cut to the shape of a #8 tag.
While it's hard to see, I used a white glitter glue (Stickles) over the snow areas and trimmed the borders with brown glitter and Liquid Pearls. The text is a Remnant Rub.
Merry Christmas Eve, everyone, I wish you the happiest of times with the ones you love.
