So without further ado!!! lol...here is the first tag...
First of all i will tell you about the tags that i am using... they are really cheap...i buy them from a shop over here in the UK called WHsmiths...they are actually luggage tags and be found in their stationary department...i always have a pack in my stash as i use them often...
The first thing i did for this tag was to cut out a butterfly shape ( one of Scenic Routes chip board ones to exact) out of white felt. I have lots of felt sitting around my scrapbooking room and not something that i always use but should!!!
I then drew around the jenni Bowlin embellishment butterfly onto a piece of text paper...
Cut it out...I then moved onto a smaller one...this time i used the Classic Butterfly from Martha Stewart...one of my favs...i cut this out of a brown paper bag that i had...good to recycle!!! lol...I then added a heart butterfly and with a thread and a needle i sewed them all together...
I then added a pin and some beads behind it...Then i put it aside and worked on the tag...
I started at the bottom for this one...first off i added a small strip of pink pattern paper...i then added a word strip from my SRM stickers...
Then onto the middle of the tag...
i added half of a paper doily across the middle
On top of this i added the butterfly...i then punched out a small butterfly again from the kraft paper bag and added that to the top of the tag with some pearls and a gem..here is the finished tag...

Beautiful! I can't wait to try this! I have not really worked with felt very much, so this may seem like a silly question but... What tool do you use to cut felt? I've tried cutting felt in the past with just Cutterbee scissors and I did not get a nice tight cut like your cute butterfly :( Thanks so much.
This is gorgeous..butterflies on your blog is a visual delight for my eyes..I just love'em..looking forward to the next tags...
NO ONE does layering & butterflies like you do. FANTASTIC!
Totally sweet Wendy. Loving that little stack of butterfly goodness.
"Gorgeous Porgeous!" as my sisters used to say when we were little, I love it! We have broken up for the school holidays now so I'm really looking forward to trying some of your awesome ideas x
Love your tags, Wendy! This weekend I had a scrapping block and couldn't get inspired to create anything - this was just what I was needing. Thanks for sharing!
fabulous!! love!! :)
Really loving your first tag can't wait for more. I have a pile of tags I brought a couple of years ago for christmas present labels but didn't use now I am inspired to get them out and play. Thanks.
I love your tag, Wendy! Can't wait to see the rest.
I love looking at your butterfly projects, Wendy. So pretty!
You are a MASTER at Layering! I'm hoping by checking out your blog in my Google reader whenever you post your layering skills will rub off on me at least a little bit! TFS
Wendy, this tag is amazing! You make the most lovely butterflies!! (If you look at my recent MR projects, you'll see that you've truly inspired me - though mine still look like "beginner" flutterbies compared to yours. ;)
Amazing I so love butterflies and you are the queen of making them thank's for the inspiration.
