Life's too short for working

Thanks for joining me on my crafty journey. I'm now retired which gives me the chance to spend a lot more time indulging myself in my crafty habit!!! I'm part of four Design Teams and absolutely love the work I do with them. It's very exciting to get your work shown on TV and I never cease to get excited when a show is coming up. It's lovely to see what the team have produced. I appreciate all my followers on my blog and thank you all so much for following my journey.

50 Shades of Grey??

Only the colour of this tag which I have made for a blog hop in conjunction with Sam Crow (samshomecookedcards.blogspot.com) is anything to do with the title!!!

The recipe for the tag is as follows:

I started with pearlised card which I coloured with white, black and grey Panpastels. I then used the Water droplets background stamp which I acquired from the amazing "Designs by Ryn". I made the two large flowers with tissue tape and finished them with a gem in the centre. The flower at the top I made using my Melt pot and UTEE which I then poured into a mould. The motto of Live the life you imagined was also made with melted UTEE which I stamped into before it set. Finished off with spotty and silver ribbons. Tissue tape was also used in the top right hand corner of the tag.
The rain man was stamped and cut out by hand.

I have entered this tag into the Ladybug Craft challenge - http://ladybugcrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/happy-new-year-and-new-challenge.html?m=1
