Tag Tuesday - Black and White

I just love color so it was a great challenge to just use black and white today, being the theme of the Tag Tuesday challenge, which is here.



I haven't used a vintage image for quite a while so I started out with that idea. I have a collage stamp from Hero Arts with a lacy border on it - which I stamped on a piece of vellum, embossed and cut out. The little butterflies are HA digi and the gingham background was green which I changed to black and white in Picasa photoshop. Added a white chiffon bow and the tag was ready.



The second tag has alot more direct stamping on it. An image of a little girl in Paris, from Crafty Individuals and a couple of digi butterflies too. I added a little rub-on thinking it could be used to say goodbye to somebody leaving France after a holiday.

  1. Two beautiful tags! I'm considering making another, as well. Yours are fabulous, Jacqueline! That looks like real lace edging on the first tag. Both tags are such wonderful pieces.
