Babies


Crafty Boots Challenge this time is Babies. It is a very poignant challenge. 
Babies are such a gift. I made this tag with friends in mind who have just had their beloved son after many years of waiting.

I cut a tag and a page of a childrens encyclopedia found in a charity shop. I struggle cutting up books but this ones cover was mouldy so fair game.I used my favourite Tim Holtz flourish stamp and a wooden satmp of a cradle I picked up in a sale bin.The distress inls I used were broken china and vintage photo. The flowers were light pink so I inked them to a light brown. The metal plate was finished off with brads and the New Baby stamp.

  7. Well, the struggle to cut up that book, even if it was moldy, allowed you make a really sweet tag. I love the images you used. Very sweet.
