A sunshiney day!
My lovely friend Bev was a little older today and so I made her a tag to accompany her suitably craft inspired present. The present was wrapped in black tissue paper and so the tag needed to be quite restrained - I was aiming for sophisticated!
The tag is made from thick, strong card and I covered it in Snowflake Fresco Finish paint as abase and then stamped one of Wendy's background stamps in Brushed Pewter Distress Stain randomly on the tag and I swiped the bottle down the sides of the tag to give it a little more colour. Then I stamped the flourishes (oh my! I lurve these flourishes!) and added dots stamped with Tarnished Brass Distress Stain.
The next stamp was some numbers stamped in Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. I added a sentiment, a treasured Blossom Bucket Floral Button and a little ribbon and it was ready! I really enjoyed making something so 'restrained' - maybe I should do that more often?!

Beautiful sophisticated tag. Love the background and flourishes and the flower is the perfect touch of dimension. Tracy x
I can definitely say this is just lovely as it's sitting on my mantle piece. Even more to say that I am rather taken that it had blossom bucket on it - as they are rather hard to give away! Thank you Gab beautiful work as always!

Very sophisticated! A lovely, elegant tag - I'm sure Bev must be loving it...
