Over at Less is More, this week's challenge is to 'include a tag'. For once, inspiration struck almost immediately - although it took me a couple of days to get round to making this card:
I used:
- A6 white card blank, tent style
- a panel of white card, embossed using Cuttlebug's 'Swiss Dots' embossing folder and glued onto the card front using Collall All Purpose glue
- a snippet of white card, stamped using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink and an Elzybells stamp called 'Rose bunch'
- coloured the image using Whispers markers plus a very light grey Pro marker for the shadows
- then die cut the image using a die from the Lil' Inkers 'Stitched Rectangles' set
- stamped the tag using a tag stamp and wording from Elzybells 'Mini Tag Set'
- trimmed round the tag with small scissors then punched a hole in the top of the tag using Fiskars smallest hole punch
- threaded some thin twine through the top of the tag, carefully poked a couple of holes either side of the knot in the ribbon bow on image and tied the tag in place
- added the finished panel to the card with thin sticky pads for more dimension
I like the fact that the tag swings rather than being stuck down :)
And shame on me, that was a first outing for the discontinued 'Rose bunch' stamp by Elzybells.

I really like how you attached the tag. That image is very pretty. All the different layers of white paper creates a lovely backdrop for the roses.

Ahhh, I see you are finding use for all that white that you offered. LOL! That is a new stamp company to me, but I love the dainty roses, and how you put it all together.

ReplyDeleteSimply elegant card Di, absolutely love it! Like how you've got the effect of greenery around the roses, and tying the tag looks good too. Lots going on, textures etc, and yet looks CAS xxx
