Welcome back to another Love to Craft - and we look forward to seeing all your wonderful creations.
It's another tag from me - I was lucky to win a set of Tag Dies from Brenda's new Tag Challenge so I just have to put them to good use.
It's another play with the gel press for me for this tag and the background was created with an Aallandcreate Stencil - this was the residue of ink left on the stencil after the press on the gel press and just stamped off onto to some extra paper so as not to lose the ink. You can just see the faint blue marks. I then added some background stamping and the star of the show - the poppy stamps - are from Tracy Evans - one of her old sets. Alison Bomber of W0rdsandp1ctures has inspired me to use real flowers on my work so these poppy seeds are from the Welsh poppies in my garden.
As well as gluing them on I fixed them with some twine and a touch of linen which has been stapled. I then added the word Nature to hide the staples. I added a butterfly which had been created out of a mood board - a play time of adding stamping and colours and then cutting out shapes - great fun. The sentiment came from Tim Holtz Ideaology snippets book.
I'm adding this into the following
A place to Start - Leaves and Circles
Aud Sentiments - TAG
A cut Above - Die cut tag and butterfly

I really like your tag and love that you used real seeds. So creative. When I first seen your tag, I thought it had lantern on it because my eyes hurt from crocheting for hours. Ha!
Hope you have a good weekend!

Love this organic designed tag! Nice stamped background and great idea to use the real poppies on the tag. Thanks so much for sharing with A Cut Above's September Challenge.
