Hugs tag

 
I wanted to make a large gift tag for a friend, to go with the huge box of choccies I am giving her, just because she is always there for me.  I started off with the large tag and coloured it with worn lipstick distress stain.  When it was dry I stamped over it using the large striped background in sepia versafine ink.  I added some ruffled lace and pearl string to the bottom part of the tag. I stained some cardstock with vintage sepia distress stain and cut out the corner and border dies, and stamped and cut out the sentiment and flowers. I added pearls to the flower centres, cheesecloth and the coloured image.

Supplies: 
Image: Saturated Canary Free Hugs
Hero Arts  background, cling flowers
Sentiment: Whimsy ticket sentiment
Colouring medium: copics
Papers: 
Embellishments: lace, pearl string, cheesecloth, seam binding
iron work accents border, Joy corner diecut
Tools: Cuttlebug, spellbinders and Joy dies
