I designed this tag for a competition that was held in a craft forum I belong to. I wanted to use the same size and shape as that of the Gothic arches I had created. Using various background papers torn and edged with inks, I printed out a photograph of a lady with a violin and decided to make her into a angel using butterfly shaped wings. These I inked with alcohol inks and edged with silver pen. The Wording I found in a book of verses for Christmas and used different coloured food dye and let the colours merge into each other. This was the effect that I ended up with.
To complete I added a pretty gold and glittery woollen thread to match the colours of the tags theme.
Really enjoyed making this tag, you can also add poems or a verse on the backs of them. May make some more of these for present tags.
