The tags were made using journalling tags from the new colour capsule range by Papermania. I die cut the letters from plain white card and stuck these down the centre and added resin roses and a silver fern leaf cut from mirror card using tattered lace dies.
The bag itself was a bit of a cheat I just added some die cut flowers again made using tattered lace dies. I cut the large flowers from plain whit card and coloured them with promarkers, the smaller flowers were cut from centura pearl paper left over from the card. The white spirals are from wild Orchid crafts and the butterfly was also cut from white card and coloured using promarkers.
Finally the card it was a large 8x8 card to ensure we could all sign it inside
I used silver mirror card and centura pearl in ice blue and royal blue. the sentiment is from the My Craft Studio vintage romance CD. All the die cut elements were made using tattered lace dies and the plain white panel at teh bottom was embossed using Coture Creations tied together embossing folder. I finished it iff by adding folded tulle under the flowers and a metal butterfly.
I am happy to report that Lynne loved not only her card and gifts but the way they were packaged. Her comment on seeing the bag and tags was they've got to be one's Alli's made - she knows me too well.
