In my continuing quest to use up very old stash,
I've made a tag with K&Company's Brenda Walton Flora & Fauna Designer Paper.
After trying two different embossing colors, I finally settled on Lindy's Bougainvillea Red Teal
It was just way too 'red', which I really noticed only AFTER
I had glued it to the tag and placed the butterflies on it!
So, I topped it again for the 4th time
choosing Lindy's Golden Pumpkin Blush, which toned it down quite a lot.
If you think it's red now - you should have seen it before!
(When you have already glued the chipboard and have to emboss it again, you have to be extra careful and use a watermark pen; then add a tiny bit of EP; heat set; then move to the next spot and repeat).
Luckily it turned out ok!
Prills in baby pink & golden colors mixed together were added all along the flourish.

that I was able to bend one to make it look like it had landed on the flowers.
And it stays bent! It's now 3D!

In the same K&Company's collection are butterfly baubles.
They are quite heavy so I super-glued it to the tag to make sure it would stay in place.
I cut out the words "gather them in posies"
from the small paper pad in this collection.
I really LOVE the reflection from beautiful blue skies with puffy white clouds on the bauble!

I made a small flower arrangement and was able to use a dimensional die cut flower
and chipboard butterfly that are also in this collection.

(Boy, you can tell how much I really love(d) this collection because I bought everything
that's in it, including some things I didn't use on this tag!)
Here is a side view to show you the dimension of this arrangement.

Lastly, the backside of the tag is, of course, decorated with paper from this collection.
Another enjoyable project complete!
Onward I go! HA HA
Thanks for visiting and have a great day,
