Twelve Tags of 2013 - July

I've been enjoying following Tim's blog and drooling over all the new releases. I take comfort in the knowledge that as soon as I win the lottery they will all be mine!!!, until then I'll do what I normally do and just add some of my favourites to my already vast collection of craft supplies! I'm pretty excited about those tag shaped stencils. Still I digress, here is my July offering to the Twelve Tags of 2013 Challenge. As always, a fun tag to make. I really enjoyed making the flower as my substitute for the Old Glory die that Tim used. Here's a close up....

 I don't use this Distress Crackle technique often enough even though I love the great textural finish, so I've promised myself to use it again soon. Only Two more days of work until I break up for the 'Big One !' and I'll be in crafting heaven, in between getting my house in order, seeing friends and family, decorating the utility room, doing the garden, going on holiday..... etc. etc. watch this space ! Have fun x
