It was whilst working on the recent anniversary card that the idea of using moonlight, meadow & monochrome for my Baroque Guild "M" Alphatag came about. The miniature element evolved when I came across the miniature meadow scene in the Eastern Grasses stamp set whilst looking for some suitable grass stamps to use.

This is truly gorgeous Paula. Eastern Grasses is one of my favourite CB stamp sets and you've definitely done it justice here. Love the little die cut elements too. I also marvel at the attention you give to the back of your tags. I do hope I get one of yours in my collection before we get to the end.

What a stunning tag, Paula. I love the warm colour tones you have used, and that stamp is beautiful
This is fabulous Paula I love the colours you have chosen and those eastern grasses stamps are lovely
The die cut with the embossed letter is a lovely touch.
I'd love to get one of your tags in my collection before the swap is completed

Wow!! That is stunning!! We have a lot of water around here, as we are in south Jersey...on one side the Atlantic, the other is the Delaware Bay...and lots of ponds and lakes in between...the cattails are everywhere....and make me feel very at home:). Weird, I know! I love this one!! It is beautiful...like the sun is setting behind the marsh!

This is amazing and the die-cut elements just add to the overall effect - that stamp set is a favourite of mine. I'm impressed with your precision on the pierced tag on the back too. I do hope one of your tags comes my way.
Gorgeous tag, love your mini scene and the stamped image is fabulous. Thanks so much for joining in thenSimon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. Tracy x
Better late than never as they say Paula, I seem to be taking forever to get to everyone.
So pleased I didn't miss this one though, a sun, grasses and flowers and wonderful rich colours tick all the right boxes for me.
I so love these colours, I think I could happily work with them all day long.

Paula this design is amazing at how it draws you in. Fabulous use of exterior elements that bring the eye to the center of the tag. The imagery used for the tiny scene is the perfect size to make it look like it is in the distance.
A perfect miniature scene,oh those balmy summer nights. Nice flourish detail and corners while the backing image is so nice even if it is tucked away behind the flourish and topper.
The back is FAB as usual, you are so neat.
This is an amazint piece of work!!!
Your stamping and inking is beautiful - stunning colours and details..
I have this image but know one have I created it has magnificently as well as you!!!
