When I strolled through our new queen Susie Australia's beautiful gallery I knew I wanted to do a tag, and was inspired mainly by this vintage tag and this little girl tag I wasn't sure how I was going to incorporate it into a card, but at some point in the process of this card when I was playing around with the butterfly, I came to the realization that I could use the butterfly itself AS the pocket! This ended up working even better after a big "uh oh" moment when the butterfly tore in two. As I was trying to figure out how to reassemble it I overlapped the two pieces and loved how it looked. I reinforced behind the join with a cardstock oval then glued down only the edges of the butterfly.
My tag has rub on accents and a jumbo eyelet with twine. It it layered over an embossed black piece with pocket watches. I'm playing along with the Dirty Dozen central theme of "time" with the thought of taking time to remember and vintage images and accents. My base has a woodgrain wheeled onto it as a nod to Susie's girl tag.
Close ups and a photo of the tag out of the pocket are on my blog
