For you, with love

I am proud to say that I have made my very first tag today. (which, by the way, is another snow day, so I'm home from work!) I am always amazed at how well some people can get lots of detail onto such a small canvas. I took my inspiration from the necklace below, from Modern Bird for the Etsy Inspired Challenge.

Sorry for the poor picture- this was so hard to photograph! All of the soft colors kept getting washed out, and I don't know how to fix it:


I love how cute the bird looked with the heart wings, and I knew I wanted that to be the focal point. It took some planning to figure out exactly how I wanted it to suspend in the cut circle, and I love how it turned out! Too bad the pics don't do it justice....

So pretty! I love the bit of dimension the bird and pearls bring to the tag. Actually, all of your designs are just lovely - such a fresh look. And thanks so much for your comment on my blog, so very nice of you.
