Photographs and Brightly Coloured Papers -Garden Goddess Photo Tag

Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying this month of projects and challenges.
For my next project I have made a Photo Tag that fits in to the Easel Card.

Don't forget to join my challenge to be in with a chance to win my projects for this month.
Details are at the end of this tutorial.

I began by cutting my tags in cereal packaging and in the patterned paper.

I ink all my edges with Distress Ink - Vintage Photo. I traced the inside of the metal die with contrasting paper and cut it out. Because I traced the inside it was slightly smaller than the machine cut tag, which gives me a lovely border..
I added strips from the 12 x 12 Sticker sheet.

Using the Graphic 45 Staples - Die Set - Square Tag and Clock, I cut out the frame.
I embossed it with Ranger Enamelware Embossing Powder. I love this embossing powder as it gives  a speckled, frosted finish.

I glued this on to my tag.

I used We R Memory Keepers Standard Eyelet, which I distressed a little with Prima Rust Effective Paste - Dark Olive. Cut a circle from the patterned paper to fit on top of the frame. The beautiful lady is from the papers, which I fussy cut and placed her on foam tape.

I added Fussy cut flowers and butterflies, and Wink Of Stella Brush on the lady's bouquet and the flowers in her hair.

On the back of the tag I added a little photo book with a magnet closure to place photos in.

Finally I finished the tag with some ribbon from my stash.

My CHALLENGE for this month is to make my Easel Shaker Card/Album. I would like to see photos of your project in early stages,( e.g your cut pieces ready to be put together) and the finished project.
