For this tag you will need:

Blossom paper C88 007

Melody paper C88 002

Stencil DS 055 C88 range

Chipboard die-cut MAKE A WISH DC88 007

Chipboard die-cut BIRD BATH DC88 013

Other: matching colour card tags, texture paste, floral bristle, lace, pink and white ink, 3d double-sided foam tape, glue, glitter and mica flakes

Instructions:

STEP 1:

Your base is a tag made from colour card that matches the C88 007 and 002 papers. From Blossom paper C88 007, cut out a slightly smaller tag that you will glue onto the base tag. I traced the original tag on the paper and then cut it 2mm from the inside line. This is your first layer.

STEP 2:

Using Stencil DS 055 C88 range and texture paste (you can mix it with the pink ink to add colour), make a ‘stamp’ on the background. Sprinkle both white and pink ink all over the tags to add colour and texture. Leave to dry.

STEP 3:

Colour the Chipboard die-cuts MAKE A WISH DC88 007 and BIRD BATH DC88 013 to match your colour theme (I used white ink to make it stand out). Leave it to dry.

STEP 4:

Cut out individual flowers and a fairy from the Melody paper C88 002.

STEP 5:

Attach the fussy cut floral elements to the tags using 3d double-sided foam. Then add the chipboards – attach the same way.

STEP 4:

To finish, stick threads of floral bristle under the embellishments; dab glue randomly all over the tags and sprinkle glitter and mica flakes to add more texture and some sparkle.
