Regular followers will know that I make tags for the Chocolate Baroque Alphatag Swap each month, although I don't always blog them. This month, a couple of my tags used very unused items, so I feel that I can show you those tags for my Forgotten Friday post. The first tag is 'M' for Music:
I embossed the tag using a Music embossing folder and an embossing diffuser, to give me a blank area in the centre for stamping. I stamped the musical instrument using Black Archival ink. I then coloured a piece of mountboard with red Distress Ink and stamped the musical heart, before cutting it out. I triple embossed this with thick WOW clear embossing powder. I love the shine that this embossing powder gives, it's the best one that I've found. I added some Sizzix leaves and black ribbon to finish.
My second tag is 'N' for Nature:
It's been lovely to get some of these older stamp sets out, give them an airing again, and to give the embossing diffuser a try out. Why don't you have a rummage through your crafty stash, find something that you haven't used for a while, and make something? If you leave a comment, I'll pop along to your blog to take a look.
I'd like to say hello to all of my new followers, thank you so much for joining me, you are very welcome.
I'm off to visit my parents today, so I'd better get a wriggle on packing the car now, thanks for stopping by, xx

fab tags Judith...think I better have a little look through my stamps and see what I havent used, then give them an airing.
Hope you have a lovely weekend x
Two beautiful tags - it is really interesting to see the various topics people choose for the letters. Sorry to hear you've cut your finger - didn't think nesties were sharp!! I've done a 'one for two' this week.
This card incporates some neglected items so should qualify.
Good to see these lovely tags Judith. Really sorry about your finger, nesties are usually more friendly! Love the effect of that diffuser plate, it is on my shopping list for next weekend. Great use of those forgotten stamps and lovely colouring as always - can't believe I didn't think of N for nature!!!!!! Deeeer!! Have a good weekend. Elaine xxx
these are stunning, the designs are so beautiful

Sorry to hear about your nestie mishap - hope it heals OK. I've never heard of an embossing diffuser but I love the efect & that first tag is a real stunner. How funny that we've both used Musical Fanfare! Mind that image I have yet to ink.......... now maybe that's husband's birthday card sorted for Monday.........
Have a lovely weekend & I'll try to come up with something for this week too - just managed last week by the skin of my teeth.

Really lovely tags Judith and great colours as always. Hope your finger heals soon , didn't think nesties were that spiteful. Hope you find your parents well. Suexxx
Love the tags Judith. Would like to know what an embossing diffuser looks like, going to have a rummage through some of my old stash, maybe something will inspire me!
Love both your tags Judith. I could enter all three of my tags this month as they all feature CB stamps I've had for ages and never used. Ha! Ha! my M tag uses a stamp from the same set as yours here. Your pretty butterflies are lovely ........ that's another set I've not used yet, oh dear!
Hugs
