I have been working on this tag off and on for a week now but I think I am happy enough to enter it now. For a change, I had most of the required items with the notable exceptions of the silver coloured page tab and the pen nib.
My first problem was finding a suitable picture in black and white and then finding some inexpensive photo paper to print it onto. I have had this photo for years and never used it, it is not one of my own but one I found on the internet. I love it. Here's the tag.
I coloured the baby's headband and the blanket, as per Tim's video, in spun sugar and left it overnight to dry properly. I used the one half numerals as the baby is just tiny and I did not think a full number would suit. At the top the little round charm says 'joyful' and the word band says 'capture life's moments', both of which I thought suited the image. The other elements are mainly Tim's Ideaology, the pen nib was from a gift bag from Jozarty at Port Sunlight - thank you Jo.
This tag is by far the most challenging, in my opinion, but I really enjoyed doing it. If you do visit I hope you will leave me a comment and I will do my best to return the favour. Crafty hugs, Anne x

Oh so glad to hear you thought this one was challenging ( when you read my post tomorrow, maybe you'll understand my temper tantrum I had, lol ) But your tag turned out very cute, love the 1/2 number instead of a whole, great thinking on that idea!! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
