Something begining with C.

Over at Tag Tuesday we are also playing with the letters of the Alphabet and the letter this week is C. Looking through the dictionary I found the word Corset and knowing I had this wooden  one from Crafty -Emblies in my stash decided to raid the rest of my stash looking for suitable papers and vintage bits and bobs to go with it.
 
The papers were free in the craft magazine  Making Cards.  The fancy letter was downloaded from this site. The little bow with the wording ' with love'  was cut from the tag inside a jumper I had bought  and as I thought it too pretty to throw away had kept safely in my stash along with the rest of the items.

MaryH said...

Gorgeously feminine tag, and how perfect was it that you had exactly the right embellishment for your beautiful C. I love how you combined all the 'found' items from your stash to fit so well on this tag. TFS.

I was 100% certain that I had left a comment today, but it seems to have vanished, so maybe some random blogger out there is wondering what on earth I am on about. There are certainly a lot of snippets there on your tag. A really lovely mix. The stained glass idea is what I was aiming for, so it is good that you thought that. Have a good week. xx Maggie
