After hours of fruitless searching through my boxes of cards, I finally decided to dump the idea of using a vintage postcard. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I almost gave up on the tag altogether. But then, I remembered that I had a set of three modern postcards with beautiful antique images, and that proved to be the solution. I grabbed one, put a tag over it to find a part of the image which would work, and cut. Yep, I destroyed a card. With scissors. Big ones. And even though it was a modern card, it still hurt, lol. Then it was just a case of adding a few bits and pieces, and the tag was finally done -

See? I really really did cut a postcard -




Please let the next challenge be less painful, lolol! Ah, errm, seems the next challenge is already up, sigh, I am off to find out what this week's challenge is going to do to me ;-).

What a super tag, extremely unusual and just love it! I know it hurts cutting up your favourites sometime but one must to achieve such a beautiful tag!
Gorgeous tag!

Beautiful tag, but I know just how you feel about cutting a postcard up!
Hi sweet Liz,
it is a beautiful tag-- I love it,-but you know what?? I would feel as unpleasent as you, cutting up a postcard--and especially an old one- so I think we could have been sitting there for hours if together-without finding any to use-lol
I wish you a lovely evening--well it is almost 10 o`clock-so sleep well soon, friend.
Hugs,Dorthe
I didn't even wish you a lovely time in France and now you are back already. I'm sorry about that, Liz! It sounds like you had a great time in the Provence and what luck that there was a vide grenier while you were there. I'm sure you have some wonderful treasures to show.
The tag is beautiful. I certainly would have had a hard time too to cut up a vintage card.
Have a great day! We do have rain today. Hopefully you have some nicer weather.
Big hugs,
Julia
