Floral Tag

 Hi all, I'm back with a card for the latest Tic-Tac-Toe challenge where I went straight down the left coloum with Gift Tag-Flowers-Twine to come up with this card.


Looking at this now, I see that this is not technically a gift tag but just a tag, so I hope I will be forgiven.  The main floral piece was cut from a sheet I had ink-blended with the Charming Delight stencil set.  I saw this used by my friend Michele Ferguson and immediately had to buy it and try to recreate using similar colours to Michele's.  To put my own spin on it, once I had finished the stenciling, I stamped over the panel with the Papillon stamp and light gray ink.  As this made a big panel, I did some other finishes to other pieces of the stenciled pattern which will probably appear in future cards - think embossing paste and vintage...




Once I'd created my tag, I also die-cut a shadow before tying them together with baker's twine.  I dry-embossed a panel of cardstock and adhered that to the cardbase adding a black strip of cardstock to tie in with the twine.  I finished with a sentiment and enamel dots.

Thanks for visiting.  Please check out the challenge over at Tic-Tac-Toe and have a go yourself.
