This tag was made probably 10 or more years ago when I first bought my Cricut machine! I was making scrapbooks then, and I made this for a page about my grandfather, but never used it, so it's been lying in a box of elements just waiting patiently to be used for another project. I found the Cardz4Guyz challenge #10 which is to "tag it" so I finally put this tag to use. It was originally just one embossed feather, so I added 2 die cut feathers and tied them on with some twine. Then I added some punched plain white flowers with red gemstones (nothing too feminine) and a die cut red bird with a black rhinestone for the eye. I did some faux stitching with a white sharpie, and stamped a Casual Friday's sentiment. The tag was made from little snippets of paper, so I'm also entering this over at the Snippets Playground #116.
Thanks for checking in today, and make it a great week ahead!

Wow you do save things for a long, long time. I thought I was the only one. I love red, white and black. I think those colors make a stunning card and you proved it here today. Wishing you a great day.
Carol, you refurbished that tag perfectly! Another amazing card.
Wonderful tag. I love the die cut feathers with embossed one. I'm glad you found a use for this lovely tag. Thanks so much for joining us this week at Cardz 4 Guys.
I am surprised Carol. This beauty finally is getting its chance to shine. It is a beauty too. A little bit of this and a little bit of that and welcome to the lime-light and the winner's circle.
This is a fabulous tag. Love the red, black, and white. The feathers are just too cool. A 10 yr. project in the making. LOL I love it.

I love this tag card Carol. I can't believe you have had this tag for this long. lol I love what you have added to it. The red bird and twine really pop on this card. I love the flowers too and they don't look girly on the tag at all. Great masculine card. Hugs
