Instructions
for your tag
1.
Cut a
piece of cardstock 2 ¼” x 4 ¼” and then cut the same size patterned paper from
C94 007 and adhere to cardstock.
2.
Ink
around edge using brown chalk ink.
3.
Cover
with a piece of tulle and cut out tag shape.
4.
Adhere
a piece of corrugated cardboard [packaging box] for height.
5.
Add a
layer of cheesecloth, stretch out with fingers.
6.
Cut a variety
of pieces of foliage using the same patterned paper as the tag base as well as
a selection using C94 008 patterned paper.
7.
Layer
foliage pieces and tuck in muslin and tuck pieces of foliage around your
blooms.
8.
Thread
pearls, I have used five small, one large, five small, one large until I had
enough threaded.
9.
I have
cut thin strips of tulle and tied in between sets of pearls. Sew around blooms and foliage to hold
everything in place before adhering to the top of your embellishment cluster.
10.
Adhere
green foliage wires from blooms – I have shaped them by bending them round a
pencil and a toothpick to get the scroll shape.
11.
Add
your sentiment on top of some of the foliage.
12.
Randomly
apply gel medium to your tag base and sprinkle small art stones for texture.
13.
Punch a
hole in the top of the tag and thread through seam binding.
Happy creating.
