This is the front of the tag card. I hate trimming Sugar Nellies, but I had to in order for her to fit :(! I watercoloured her and used my nesties to do the wicked deed of trimming! As her flowers were cut off I have matted them onto the sentiment, which I wrote myself.I cut the tag part out using a chipboard anchor as a pattern, and inked up all the edges of hte papers in order to hide the 'white' bits! I added an eyelet, ribbon and charm to add a bit of wieght to hold it down.
The inside looks like this - the frame is cut with my nesties and the sentiment finished ... suppose I better send it to hubby!LOL

What I did learn from the experience of making the card is not to use white cardstock and cover it ... the tag easily looks too messy.
