may tag

Here I am finally posting my May tag! Or at least hoping to because yesterday & this morning I kept getting an error message on the iPad.

I struggled to make decisions on this one. First for the embellishments, then for the paper and finally for the tag background colour. I tried bundled sage, scattered straw, picked raspberry & rusty hinge - the latter being the one I finally went with.

Here is the paper I chose

and here is the end result on the other sheet of paper that I liked.

 

The pen nib & FIND word stick are Tim Holtz
Kokopelli was a metal button, he's had his "shank" removed
The key, mini dragonfly, "love joy peace patience" metal tag all came from the USA
The butterfly is a Sizzix stamp/die set that I've mounted on a frame that has been cut from a metal food container and then embossed & coloured with alcohol ink

The tie is eyelash yarn from my stash
