Butterfly Tag Book

For this project I folded and cut a piece of plain white cardstock to create little pockets, and added tags and embellishments to it.  I used a range of distress inks to add colour,  and used stamps with butterfly / nature theme, which were mostly by Darkroom Door.  On the cover, I added some die cuts and a stamped sentiment, coloured with Distress inks to match the background.  Each of the tags were finished with some lace, and I added a small piece of satin ribbon for the closure.

Banner Project

This was part of a swap last year (as were many of my recent posts) with my friend Laurel.  I used Spellbinders dies to create the banner pennants, and a Sizzix alphabet for the letters.  Then embellished it with various laces, trims, flowers and pearls from my stash before pegging it to a length of seam binding.
