Inspired by Sarn

My lovely buddy Sarn has recently really caught my eye by adding 'tabs' to her cards. A great way to just add that finishing touch - and also to use up snippets. This card really made me giggle yesterday over at Sarn's - just look at how Daisy the cow wrote the sentiment with her tail!

So here's my take on using a couple of tabs:
I used:

 - A6 white card blank

 - the pre-coloured image is from a Little Claire sheet of toppers called 'Garden Shelves', cut down with a Nesties oval die

- aubergine card from the snippets folder, embossed using a Quickutz folder called 'Flowers'

 - the little tabs were made using snippets of SU's 'Certainly Celery' and white card stock and SU punches

 - flowers were punched from the sliver of aubergine card stock I had left and just topped with a white pearl on each

Love how those tabs work - thanks again for the inspiration Sarn!

    Beautiful card Di. Flowers complimented perfectly by the tabs.
    This may well be 'the time of the Sarn tab' I'll certainly be incorporating some!

    As Dragon says, the word "Sarntab" may become a regular addition to cardmakers everywhere in blogland! Fab card you have here too

    This is the sort of card you need in your box so that it is ready for an 'occasion'. It is right for so many things as well - love those tabs by the way. As for the aubergine - phwoar .... my fave colour in the playground of life!!

    Hugs to you and Parsnip

    Fabulous image Di, great layout and the tabs are brilliant, could be a new trend. Lovely embossing folder too.

    Will try to get to the playground tomorrow to see Parsnip as I am a tad frightened of dogs so we should stick together.
