Free tag

Working my way through the box of word stamps, I am on the 4th one... FREE... what is freedom?  The ability to think the way you want, express yourself and go where you want, but mostly, it means to be yourself without restrictions.
                
On this tag I covered the base tag with small detailed card stock and heat embossed a Victorian birdcage -slightly off center- with copper.  Using Stazon purple, I stamped the butterfly with the swirls still on the cage.  Edged the whole tag with Concord Grape Distress ink and lined the butterfly stamp with a glazing pen.  Punched a 'stamp' using MS punch and stamped 'free' with white Stazon ink, adhered with foam dot.  Also a MS punch is the monarch butterfly punched from lavender vellum and glued to a sliver of foam.  Perked the wings and its ready to fly.  Punched out 2 different flowers, edged the largest with lavender chalk ink, stacked and added a rhinestone in the center.  Adhered with a pop dot above the 'free' stamp.  Added 2 small glass flower charms loaded on copper wire and attached to the string tag.
