Flourishes Timeless Tuesday: Thank You Card or Tag

Good morning happy challenge chasers (ahhh, the good old days!), I hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend! It's time to go back to work, and it's also Flourishes Timeless Tuesday, my favorite blog day of the week!! :) This week Mona is challenging us to create: A Thank You Card or Tag.


I have made many thank you cards, but I have never made a thank you tag before, and that intrigued me. So I decided to go with creating the tag. I used to work with tags for journaling when I was a scrapbooker, but for some reason I couldn't make them translate well on my cards. So I decided to create something that didn't look so much like a tag... Is that even possible?

I chose to use Flourishes "A Year in Flowers 2" using the June Rose stamp, for my image. I stamped it in Memento "Rich Cocoa" and colored it in, then cut it out with my craft knife and popped it up on popdots. I layered the image over an oval diecut and sponged around it in "Scattered Straw" Distress Ink. I used a Spellbinders Fancy Tag #3 under the oval diecut then used a Martha Stewart punch on some paper for some interest, added  pearls and May Arts "Ivory" ribbon on to the top of my tag (it's hanging  behind the tag), to top it off.
