Here's my tag,

Here's what I used & how I made it,

To make the background

I glued a book page to a scrap of card,

then die cut it with Tim's, Tag & book plate die,

I then used the Distress inks & template picture below,

I saw this background being demonstrated at

Ally Pally craft show a few months ago,

by Sam Poole herself,

it's so quick & easy, & very effective.

Next I die cut the flowers & leaves out of scraps of

Tim's Retro paper stack,

assembled them & glued a pearl into the center,

I stamped the sentiment (one of Tim's) onto scrap card,

tore it out & inked the edges,

Glued it all in place & added

the fibers through the hole at the top.

& there you have it,

Hope you like it!

must dash, busy, busy, busy, lol

Don't forget to  enter my blog candy.

Thanks for stopping by,

Back soon,
