Thinking of You with a Tag

Hi Friends! I'll only be a second! Here's a card I made for a few challenges.

As it's a "thinking of you" card, I wanted it to look a little bit doodled on, so I stamped a lot of random stamps on the blue text cs, and added lots of Pearl Pen dots on the flags. I turned the partial circle layer into a tag. I layered two different digi papers to create the purple paper for the flags.

I turned the Viva la Verve sketch upside down, and used the CR84FN60 color challenge for my palette, even though I'm not entering that particular challenge since I'm entering more than two other challenges. :(

Here's a shot of the tag partially out of the pocket. To keep the tag from sliding behind the "thinking of you" sentiment layer, I glued down the entire left side of the upper panel, and only glued the right and bottom edges of the right side. To keep the tag from catching on the twine that is wrapped around the layer, I glued a strip of kraft cs over the twine on the backside.

And, this is what the entire tag looks like. The leaves stamp on the tag looks smeared on purpose. I stamped it twice. The first time I spritzed water on my stamp after inking it up. Then I re-stamped it without water to give it more definition. I colored the "O" of the tag sentiment with a Copic marker.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful week!
