Ever complete a project that when you look at as a completed item, you wonder what took you so long to create it? That’s exactly what I thought when I was finished this tag! I didn’t realize that it would be such a complicated tag when I started, so I didn’t take photos along the way. But I would like to give a little explanation for some of the things I did to create this tag.

Supplies Used- Dies and Embossing folder: Sizzix; Inks and Embossing Powder: Clearsnap ColorBox; Patterned Paper: Prima Marketing; Ribbon: May Arts; Metal Leaf; L’adore

The background: I embossed some white cardstock with a Sizzix embossing folder, then sprayed it with some Clearsnap ColorBox Spritz Spray (spun sugar). Then I used my brayer to apply some pigment ink over top (Clearsnap ColorBox Old Rose) and heat embossed it. Then I adhered it to a piece of patterned paper and used a Sizzix die to cut out the tag shape.

The other bits: I free hand drew a moon, cut it out then inked and heat embossed the edges with the same ink as on the background. I applied a few spots of silver leaf to add some random shiny bits. Used this Sizzix die to cut out the words,

and applied gold foil and little more silver leaf. Added ribbon and little paper stars I cut out of the patterned paper, and assembled!

Tah-dah! One vintage-ish tag!

And here’s a bonus layout featuring some BoBunny Lemonade Stand collection.

Because summer really is my favourite! This picture is from around 1998. In my mind I still look just like this!
