The theme at Tag Tuesday this week is 'Eggs'

I enjoyed working with the sheet music on the eggs last week so much ,

 I decided to keep the theme the same for my egg tag

I cut an egg shape from some sheet music and stitched it onto a black card background which I had printed and embossed on cut it into a tag shape and punched a hole at the top.

 I was quite pleased with the result and proceeded to put the ribbon through, at this point the top of the tag ripped off... the ribbon was too thick.

I was talking with Kevin at this point and he remarked at how calmly I had taken this setback.

It was all replaceable, but sometimes these things can be happy accidents and meant to be.

So rather than start again, I cut round the torn black tag, giving the egg a second border which highlighted the black stitching.

I then stitched this onto one of my pink spotty tags

which had thin ivory lace wrapped round it.

I added a shiny large black sequin and on top of that a white iridescent sequin

then topped these with a diamante stone.

I added more lace round the egg and punched black flowers with tiny pearl glass seed beads.

The ribbon is from a lovely box of handmade chocolates that Kevin bought me a couple of years ago.
