Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop - April 26

Hello and welcome lovely friends. I hope you're all having a wonderful Easter Sunday and if you don't celebrate I hope you're enjoying your day.  The Easter bunny was generous to us again this year and we have a nice selection of chocolate to munch over the coming days lol!  

It's time 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' and I know this is going to be a popular theme. I can't wait to see what the rest of my fellow hoppers have made. I hope you can pop over to Instagram and join us.

I always like to play along with the optional prompt and this month I created a fun shaker tag using products from lots of different companies but especially Waffle Flower Crafts.  I wanted to try making a  completely transparent tag with no background, so that you could see all the way through, as I've never made one before.  I turned out super cute and exactly what I had in mind.  I hope you like it.

Here is my tag:

A closer look at the flowers:

Plus I decorated the back:

I began by die cutting two tags from white card, I adhered them together with low tack tape and then die cut a rectangle from the centre of them both to create my shaker window.  I added acetate to both tags and also shaker strips foam adhesive around the border of one of the windows.  I filled the window with a rainbow mix of sequins and then adhered both the tags together to enclose the sequins.  I stamped the flowers, coloured them with Promarkers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  I also die cut 2 more layers from plain white card so that I could stack them.  I added the larger floral spray in the bottom left corner with double sided tape and filled it out by placing one of the single flowers over the edge of it.  I placed another single flower in the top right corner.  I stamped and cut out a teeny sentiment and placed it over the larger floral arrangement.  I added some pink tulle ribbon through the tag and then tied a bow using a thin purple ribbon around this.  For the back of the tag I added another small flower in the bottom right corner and a second teeny sentiment on top of this with double sided tape.
