Heidi :)Yay! You are here with me!

Today I decided to show you a little project... a gift tag for a "special" friend. (Can't tell you who it is for, because I haven't dressed up their gift and given it to them yet.) I love to make each gift that I give a bit unique, and I just can't stand the thought of using a generic to: and from: gift tag, 

when I can do something like this:

I used Clear Scraps Circles, the 4" size. I first stamped with StazOn Opaque, dripped some alcohol ink in Wild Plum, then added strips of paper from an old book onto the back. 

 I then punched some holes, used Jet Black StazOn to distress the edges, and added my text to the front.

Then I stamped a butterfly onto the circle, and then onto a sheet of transparency, cutting it out and inking it too. I traced on top with a Viva Pearl Pen, and added some silver beads to its body before bending up the wings and attaching it to my tag.

Finally, I added some more embellies, keys and buttons, and the punched out pieces of paper and acrylic. I dotted with some pearl pens, and then inked along the edges again before the pear dots could dry (so we could get that pooling effect) and tied on my little ribbon. What an easy way to dress up a present?!
