Tag card

After my wee bit of fun yesterday I settled for a lazy stroll through blogland. I do love to see what you are all doing. Thank you my crafty pals for enjoying my twinchie, I so enjoyed the comments. The only trouble with blogland is that we see things we really need and this month's budget is already bust - lol. 
It is bitterly cold here today with a really keen wind. I am hoping it will ease a bit by the time of tomorrow's funeral, at any rate let us hope it doesn't turn to the forecast sleet.
Today's play started out to be a tag and ended up as a card, although I haven't put a greeting on yet, I expect it will be a BIL birthday card. 
Again I have to say that this was a real "I need it" die, and although very intricate it cuts very well especially with the wax paper, so without further ado -

Card blank is 7x5 white texture,
Dies used – Sizzix "Tags and Bookplates" alterations die ,
Sizzix Alterations Embossing Folder - Pocket Watches and
SCACD Alice's Clock Statement Corner.

    It's cold here just the same Flora, oh for sunshine.

    Like the colours of your card, in my mind it has a art deco feel to it. Thanks as well for your king visit to me, I know you like I struggle so it makes it all the more special.

    Flora your tag is gorgeous! Love the embossing and the die cut but really adore the colour you used.
    I'm wondering if these cold spells that this country is having on and off this winter is making our Fb and RA flare - in so much pain and discomfort right now. Hope you are not too bad hugs Karen

    Hello Flora,huge apologies, I've just realised I never joined your blog, I know I've visited when You first joined mine but somehow I've missed the essential part. I'm really sorry as I've missed looking at your gorgeous work. I've been browsing through tonight and just love what I'm seeing.

    This little Tag is lovely. The colours are gorgeous.
    Hope the snow/sleet doesn't arrive for you. Keep cosy, Kate x
