Spots and Stripes.
I decided on another tag, I love doing these, but don't always know what to do with them, apart from adding to a card base or attached to a gift.
For my 'tag' I cut some corrugated card with the TH Dressform, peeled the top layer off to expose my 'stripes' and then heat embossed with WOW Metallic Gold Sparkle EP. Distress inks Bundles Sage, Iced Spruce, Tumbled Glass and Wild Honey made up my background, Dusty Concord was applied through a mask for my spots. TH Script and Flower Swirl stamping in BS and DC, all spritzed with Biscotti Perfect Pearls.
The flower, was inked and then spots applied through the mask. The ribbon was dyed with BS and TG inks, then stamped with a 'dots' stamp in DC ink.
The rest of the DT have some wonderful inspiration, so please pop over here and take a look.
I am also entering this in:

Craft Room Challenge - Make a Tag
Thats it for now, hope you all have a good weekend, and thanks for looking.

Huge congrats Avril - they are very lucky to have you. This tag is great (adore that corrugated dressform) and from the side view I thought 'clever thing, it's a bag with the corners chopped off' and then looked again - even better! a card! Love your idea. Hugs, Jenny x

Congratulations on your new DT spot - and what a wonderful debut piece... the background is absolutely scrummy, and I love how you've created the standing card out of it - fantastic!

More of your creative techniques with a fabulous result! I love the tags you make Avril. I'm thinking maybe I should start experimenting with tags to get this look - not as scary as a card.
Congrats on your new DT make! Not surprised at all.
