Those layouts were finished years ago and this tag languished in my kid themed embellishment drawer. It feels good to finally use it up. The Smile sentiment is from a 12 x 12 chipboard sheet of sentiment tags...from the Dollar store. The pink seemed the right shade and the tag had come loose from the chipboard sheet. Waste not, want not. I think the chipboard pieces are a couple of years old at least...VOS for sure!
Background DP are from my snippet files.The upper is First Edition and the bottom rosecoloured dotted piece is unknown. I made a 5x7 card base from some kraft card and used a left over scrap for the border strip. I went over all the edges with a Prima Invilde Bolme ivory chalk ink...just to soften the edges.
I was going to use some fine jute twine but once I got the edges inked, I remembered this ivory fine string I picked up last year at a yard sale. I like the soft colour of it on this card. I made a loopy bow and pushed the knot into the hole of the tag. Popped a jewel over the center and let the edges dangle.
The tag has a secret fold which I will use to add a few hidden words. I propped it open with a wooden stamp so you could see the hidden inside of the tag...
I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Your Dollas stores always sound interesting Mo, we do have £1 stores but nothing as interesting as crafty stash in them.
I always think it gives you a good feeling when you find odds and ends lurking and find a use for them and a really pretty card today using yours.

Very pretty!
As I sort through all of my older scrapbook product trying to decide what to keep and let go, I am finding a lot of stuff that I can't believe I haven't used yet!
Hoping 2015 is the year to use it up!
Beautiful! Love the way you have the hidden message and those flowers and colors are so pretty.
