Dragonfly Trash to Steampunk Treasure

Been in a Steampunk kinda mood lately, so today's creation is a Steampunk tag. You know how I love to recycle, so I must tell you that I've actually been saving this broken hair clip from my daughter for years! LOL. When I started making this tag I knew I needed a 3D item and this pretty clip fit the bill. I think butterflies and dragonflies complement this paper with it's gears and Art Nouveau ladies. I am also entering it in a new challenge site that I found called Sugar Creek Hollow Challenge "Trash to Vintage Treasure.

To make this tag I used Glimmermist and sprayed it on a Tattered Angel plastic screen to print it. I edged the tag with gold acrylic paint and Stickles. The lovely lady and her butterflies are from the Flying Unicorn store on a paper called Steampunk Debutante from Graphic45. There are rhinestones, tiny gears and glitter Stickle accents.The dragonfly came next with the same accents. A green ribbon tied this project all up.

Hope you will discover something you have been saving.
artfully yours, gerri
