CARD WITH TAG

This top fold card design gave me a chance to use even more scraps from my Scrap Drawer!

After choosing 4 patterns that would go well together, I cut them in strips of varying width and layered them with ds tape.  The light tan piece had already been embossed, which added some texture to the card as well.

Next, I stamped the leaf, cut it by hand and mounted it over the dsp strips with ds tape.  For the tag, I stamped the sentiment first on a white scrap, cut around it in a rectangle and rounded the top corners to coordinate with the rounded corners of the card base.  When I cut the notch at the bottom, I curved the lines slightly; then I sponged the edges with green ink.  The bow is a piece of jute attached with a glue dot to the top of the tag, and the tag was mounted with dimensionals.

Last, I added three SU Candy Dots.
