WARNING: This may be one of numerous posts today - I need to get these cards uploaded while I have time! :)
I tried to create multiple layers on this card - I think it worked. First off I started with a tag shape I cut with my Slice and embossed using a EF. I then die cut a 'spikey circle'(?!) using a PTI die, added a Jillibean Soup brown journalling spot and then my embossed senitment panel over the top.
I added a few blue Prima pearls here and there as well as a brad from a MME Lush collection to hold the SU! Bashful Blue ribbon in place atop the tag.
The kraft cardstock has been stamped around the edges using a stamp from SU! Vintage Vogue in Crumb Cake ink. This has got the be my fave stamp out of the set - so much you can do with it! I have distressed the edges of the kraft cardstock using a Tonic paper distresser and added some faux stitching with a white gel pen around the edges of the cardbase and the tag.
One of PTI's releases last month consisted of Angular Labels and Rectangular Labels Dies with a co-ordinating stamp set. They can all be found -->HERE<-- They are so perfect, and I was so tempted, but I went with Tiny Tags stamp set and die. I couldn't resist!
So instead, I tried to make my own sort of labels simply using a punch and a a fineliner. I like how it turned out but I would prefer the stamp set and die! LOL. Maybe this month.. heehee.
