50s Tag Shaped Card.

Hi Folks!

Hope you're ok? 

Well, it's been back to the 50s here in my craft room today, and I've made a tag shaped card with a lovely 50s image on it.

I love the 50s era...the music, the clothes, the vehicles...sigh!

Anyway, this card was made using MCS's Fab Glam Fifties CD. 

I took a tag from the CD into my Silhouette software and used it to create the shape.  I then enlarged (and slightly adapted it) to make the matting layer (colour picked from the image) and the base card.  I brought an image from the CD into the Silhouette software and traced around that to make another layer of the gorgeous, super glam lady to layer up. 

To finish I have here simply added some bling flowers and faux gems from my stash.  Very simple but elegant.  Beautiful artwork by the lovely Nancy Watts, as always, so it doesn't really need anything else.

Happy Crafting everyone!
