Birdsong 3's tag swap -- and tags galore!

I always enjoy the paper art swaps at events like Birdsong 3.  This time, Stephanie Oyler hostessed a bird-themed tag swap and we were all to make 7 tags to swap.  I made 8, so that Stephanie could keep one, too.

My tags were pretty intricate this time: I started with a piece of lovely yellow floral scrapbook paper, and then sewed a piece of organza over it.

I added a sweet vintage bird image that I'd glittered, while behind that is some pretty washi tape in a summery/birdy theme.  I have the bird "landing" on top of a lacy, flower-strewn border.

Some of the flowers are vintage from millinery or flower making supplies and some are newer paper flowers.

I glued a string of rhinestone to the bottom so it shows through the lace placed over it.  Each is topped with pretty blue seam binding.

On the back, I made a pocket, covered it with an egg and added sparkles.  The pocket holds the one of my mini moo cards.

While I was at it, I made another bunch of tags as little gifts to give to friends I'd be seeing at the event.

 

This tag was a special, layered snippet one I made for instructor Lori Oles:

 I included it in a bag of ephemera that I thought she'd enjoy.

For Mercedes, who hostessed the rosette swap I'll be showing you in the next post, I made a tag with a little rosette pin.

I thought this vintage image of a bluebird was just so sweet!  I used that same, sweet little bird for another tag I gifted at Birdsong 3:

Next: more swaps!
