I love having tags on hand to add to presents instead of cards, and with all the little girl birthday parties I will end up going to I know this little beauty will come in handy to add to cute little gift we will give to the birthday girl.
I used the wonderful wood butterflies from Unique Laser Designs at the top of the tag. They are just to cute and sweet and perfect for this little tag! I love a plain look as seen below, but for this tag I wanted them to sparkle, but not too much.
So I first pressed the wood into the embossing medium (like Versamark) to amek it "sticky" for the mica powders to stick. I used a pale pink color to match the colors in the tag and just used a small dry paint brush to apply the powder tot eh sticky wood. I used the wonderful mica powders from Imagination Crafts.
The shine and shimmer is just beautiful when it is done, it just catches the light perfectly, and it will not rub off!! There is no drying time so to make these little shiny gems is super easy and fast too!!
For the main part of the card I used the wonderful Paper House papers and stickers. Their cute Little Girl Quilt paper just begs to cut cut apart and used for a tag, and the little Puffy stickers match perfectly. I topped it off with a chipoxy "beautiful" sticker from the Mom sticker pack, but every little girl loves to be told they are beautiful!!
Tags can be used instead of cards, so have fun making some tags for a change of pace!!
