Black and White Tag- Inspired by Jacqueline!

It's Tuesday and I made a tag for the Tag Tuesday challenge. The theme is Black and White, no other color allowed on this one. I had a bit of fun with this, making a grid design with 1 inch squares.

I discovered a tip for assembling these little pieces without going crazy. I used a bit of removable tape to hold the pieces as I was deciding where I wanted them. Then it was easy to lift each one to add permanent adhesive without disturbing the rest.
My tag design was inspired by two cards that I received from Jacqueline.  If you are not familiar with her work, I describe it as gorgeous feminine vintage style. Please take some time to visit her beautiful blog My Scrap Basket.
Jacqueline's grid cards are always so perfectly crafted with beautiful colors, patterns, vintage images and stamped elements. I feel very blessed to have these cards in my collection.

Tag ~ Stamps used: Hero Arts-CL387 Life is Not Perfect; LP128 Artistic Windows; K5185 Wallpaper Flowers; K2399 Paris Rose; H5011 Silhouette Corner; H2141 Manuscript Background; K5358 Floral Scallop; C2206 Luxe Liberty; LL676 International Postage-First Class.  Stampington and Company- K5501 Family Car. Unknown- the 2 bunny stamps.
Supplies and Tools: Marvy-1" punch; EK Success- Flower Punch; K& Company-Flowers; Ranger-Black Soot Distress Ink; Memento-Tuxedo Black ink. Hero Arts gems-crystal and black; Martha Stewart- oval pearl gems. Buttons from my stash and black crochet thread. Ribbon from Michael's.

Thought for the Day: Isaiah 32:17 "The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever."
blessings,
nancy

    Nancy, this is so perfect, down to even the gorgeous ribbon. I must try the inchies tag some day. Maybe after I get some new eyeglasses! LOL! But you seem to be very talented at dealing with the miniscule bits of art. Very, very beautiful.
