I finished my cindy tags yesterday - they took a long time! I'll try and post photos later..but I basically brass stencilled/embossed cindy, chalked and then painted with iridescent paint. Then I punched a castle, chalked edges and painted again with the iridescent paint. Attached a small piece of ribbon. Chalked edges of tag. I don't think the photo looks great but they look good when looking at them in person.

Chalked edges.

The second tag was alot simpler - I printed on to vellum and attached with brads, added some fiber. On the other side I embossed a dress and attached by another jeweled brad so that you can "open" or lift the dress out of the way to journal beneath it or behind it. (oh dear that sounds bad to be journalling under Cindy's dress!) Added a small sticker to the corner.

Just a suggestion, but to any and all Secret Sisters in the tag swap; making extras of your tags for your sister who may be either not in your group or not in the swap would make awesome gifts to send with the last package. (Don't want to do it sooner or your sister will know who you are.) Not that I'm begging or anything.
