Morning all, time for our new challenge at Tag-Along (and ATC's) where Pinky has chosen the theme of Travel and as usual there's the Anything Goes option. We have another lovely set of tag shaped dies to give away to the months lucky winner and as always the three of us will each choose our favourite from the months entries. Even if tags and ATC's are not your things, why not given them a go?
I've decided my couple above are from the Edwardian era, recently married from an aristocratic background and doing the Grand Tour (humour me please!) and currently in the Eternal City which is one of my favourites.
The base tag is A&C, the stamping various Penny Black stamps and the tickets and elegant couple TH ephemera. Finished with some fancy twine and a bow. The theme at A/G in a Card Free Zone is 'I'd wear that' so think my tag might fit.
My ATC uses images from my Gecko Galz win a few weeks ago. I never fail to think of Princess Diana when I look at photos of The Taj Mahal. She looked so sad sitting there in the red jacket, purple shoes and skirt, her marriage was falling apart which to this day I find so sad and the fact she's not our Queen. There's a new challenge at ATC's around the World so am linking up.
Our Holly is poorly and having surgery on Tuesday. After losing both Daisy and Poppy this year we were devastated this week to discover that she has an aggressive tumour on her chest. She's no spring chicken so surgery comes with it's own dangers, I'm praying it's successful and she can enjoy a little longer with us.
I'll be back tomorrow and again Sunday, posts like buses this weekend.
Your Edwardian couple tag, having a sojourn in Italy, is fabulous Love everything about it.
ReplyDeleteThe Indian ATC showing the Taj Mahal is equally fabulous. Agree with you about Princess Diana!
Wishing Holly all the best for her op and a successful and rapid recovery. xxx

ReplyDeleteThe tag is stunning and I love the concept of a Grand Tour. The ATC is very serene.
ReplyDeleteI hope everythig goes well and Holly will make a speedy recovery.
Gorgeous tag, that couple look like they could step right off it, brilliant dimension. I thought I recognised some PB in there. A lovely peaceful ATC. Fingers crossed for Holly.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautifully themed vintage style projects, I can imagine how exciting it must have been to take the Grand Tour. Hope Holly pulls through her surgery and enjoys time with you all
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag and atc, lovely rich colours. Sending lots of postive healing vibes for Holly on Tuesday. Emmax
ReplyDeleteTag and ATC both gorgeous, you created a perfect background for the Edwardian couple on their romantic tour. The Taj Mahal always looks so calm and tranquil but I know what you mean about Diana.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to hear that Holly is unwell and needs surgery, such a worry with an older dog. I'll keep my fingers crossed for her. xx
Love the beautiful Edwardian tag and great ATC, hope all goes well with Holly.

Two beautiful travel themed projects, I am especially loving the gorgeous Edwardian couple on world tour. It's absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Holly is needing surgery, hope all goes well.
Two beautiful projects, Brenda. The first one reminded me of our visit to Rome a few years ago, so much to see. I've never been to India, but I'd love to see the Taj Mahal if ever we get to that part of the world. I hope Holly's surgery on Tuesday is successful and she makes a good recovery.

Oh no--poor Holly and so sad to have another puppydog with a serious problem. I so hope with you that she does well with surgery and has more time with you. Your tag is a masterpiece! And I agree about that picture of Diana. Yes, she should still be here. Life is so unfair. Why do the good suffer and die while the bad continue on and on?!
ReplyDeleteYour tag and ATC are both rich with storytelling and emotion. The Edwardian couple on their Grand Tour is such a charming concept—Rome suits them perfectly, and the elegant details you’ve added make the scene feel truly timeless. The ATC is equally poignant; the connection to Princess Diana adds a layer of heartfelt reflection that’s beautifully expressed. Wishing Holly strength and comfort—your love for her shines through so clearly.
ReplyDeleteReally, really wonderful, Brenda!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at ATC Around The World!
Hugs,
Conny
I love your tag, it really conjures up that aristocratic travel feel Brenda. The colours in your ATC are so vibrant and the velvet ribbon is a perfect addition. Oh so sorry to hear Holly is poorly. I hope the surgery goes well. Keeping everything crossed Brenda.
ReplyDeleteI love your Edwardian story, Brenda! Both tag and ATC are great travel themed makes. Wishing a successful op and prompt recovery for Holly. x
ReplyDeletefantastic tag and card Brenda.......gr karin
ReplyDeleteI have to comment on your projects first of all, which are amazing, such wonderful images. I'm sorry to hear about Holly, it must so hard for you all to know another dear animal is poorly. I hope they can do something for her? x
ReplyDeleteOh Brenda, what exquisite tags - and I did enjoy your backstory to the top tag :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that Holly is facing surgery - as you say, that in itself carries added risk at her age :(
Blessings

Gorgeous tag, Brenda! It would be so fun to wear a gown like this, but maybe not in the heat we have experienced this summer. I'm thinking about Holly and wishing her a quick recovery. Peace to you as you go through this with her. Thanks for sharing with us at AG in a Card Free Zone! Katrina
ReplyDeleteLove the travel tag, you've created a fabulous background for the couple and the ATC has a lovely vintage feel to it.
ReplyDeleteHoping all goes well with Holly's surgery. Thinking of you. xx Avril xx
