When I planned my tag I really thought I had a lace background stamp but do you think I could find it - in a word no! So plan B was to use a decorative border die which to me looks a bit lacy. It turned out super girly and really pretty. I hope you like it.
Here is my tag:
A closer look at the details:
I tried to capture the embossed detail of one of the butterflies:
Plus I decorated the back:
I began by die cutting two white tags using a stitched tag die. I also die cut a strip of the decorative border die from white card. I ink blended with a cloud stencil onto both tags using sea glass ink. I decided to use the beautiful butterflies as I thought they looked a little lacy on the edges too. They are part of an embossing folder, die & stencil bundle. I die cut the butterflies, embossed them in the folder and then used the stencils to colour them with bright, girly colours. Aren't they so pretty. I worked out roughly where I wanted the butterflies to go on the front of my tag and stamped my sentiment in the gap between them using black ink. I also stamped the to: and from: on the second tag (which will be the back) again with black ink. I adhered the border strip to the back of the front tag with liquid glue and then added the second tag to the back with double sided tape. I added the two larger butterflies to the front of the tag with foam squares and finished off with some black sequins. For the back I adhered the smaller butterfly with liquid glue. I added some pink tulle through the hole of the tag and tied a bow around it using yellow twine.
