Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop June 25

Hello friends, I hope you're doing ok and that you've had a lovely day so far.  It's time for a new theme for the Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop, which takes place on the 5th of each month.  You always have the option to go for anything goes but the extra prompt this month is 'flowers', which is such a lovely and easy theme.  I expect the rest of the hop will be adorned with enough flowers to fill a garden lol!  I hope you can pop over to Instagram and join us.  

I love flowers and it's so easy to make a project that includes them.  I grabbed some coloured card from my scraps bin (still trying to use it up) and went to work.  I hope you like it.

Here is my tag:

A closer look the flowers:

Plus I decorated the other side of the tag:

I began by die cutting my tag from white card and using a stencil and some sea glass ink created a soft stencilled background.  I die cut the flowers from a teal coloured card and layered them up with foam squares adding a gold mirri card centre with liquid glue.  I also cut some leaves from the gold mirri card.  At this point I decided I wanted to mat my tag onto some of the teal card but I didn't have a larger tag so I simply trimmed down the white one every so slightly so that I had a thin border.  I adhered them together with liquid glue.  I stamped a sentiment with versamark ink and embossed it with gold detail embossing powder.  I used a sentiment strip die to cut it out.  I arranged my flowers and leaves on the tag and adhered them with liquid glue.  The sentiment was added with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue and I finished with a few gold pearls.  For the other side of the tag I cut another white tag and heat embossed the To: and From with the gold embossing powder and added a few gold leaves to the top left and bottom right corners with liquid glue.  I adhered the tags together with liquid glue.  I added some white tulle ribbon (recycled from packaging) and tied it with some twine.  It's such a pretty tag in real life and will really jazz up a plain white gift bag.
