Ripped the first page out of the dictionary I bought at our Scout Jumble Sale for such purposes as this. Considering the Easter season I went to the "e" section and there was "egg" right at the top, how could I resist?
Embossed frame made from a small freebie Christmas Tree folder where I just put the edges of the tag in and had to emboss 6 times to get the edge pattern.
Bird - Marianne die (sans it own branch)
Branch - Quickutz die (2 parts)
Leaves - from Tim's Regal Crest die
Plaque - Tim's book plate from Tag die
Crown - metal embellishment from "The Works" here in the UK. Had to cut the brad ring off the top - now that was fun!
On reflection I really ought to have made the bird BLACK in honour of the Blackbird which has taken up residence in my garden and promptly starts singing his little heart out around 5am and continues 'till 9am and then returns in the evening. I think the novelty has worn off now!!! BJ

That's lovely! You've done brilliantly with what you had so no wonder you're pleased.
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

That's lovely BJ! Really do like the printed page as the background.The bird on the branch works really well and the crown. . . say no more about 'The Works'! Have been and purchased some similar items to you! No crowns though I think. . . . Great tag!!

ohhhhhh this tag is scrumptious, I love every little detail! waving hi from the sunny hills of North Carolina and wishing you a Happy Easter :)
I think you did great! I like improvising, but the tags are a bit of a kickstart and make me try things out. Thanks for popping by to see me and joining in with my Art Draw. Hope to see you again. Cindy
This is fab! And I've had a little look at a few other of your posts and like what I see, so I'm following! M x
