CCCB #178 - Flower Power, The Sisterhood of Crafters - Tag You're It, and eclectic Paperie

 I played along in several challenges and made a mixed media tag!
City Crafter Challenge Blog #178 - Flower Power
Use 2 different backgrounds and at least 5 flowers:

The Sisterhood of Crafters
Make a Tag

Here's my tag:

Can you see my 5 flowers???  The 3 at the bottom are obvious but the 2 at the top are more subtle.  There's the tiny resin rosebud and do you see how I made a flower out of the twine??!!!
 

My two papers are the paper I used to make the tag (and distressed with TH distress inks) and the tissue wrap I ripped but deliberately left the definition for flourish so you could read it.  All of the flowers are flourishing on my tag!!!


Aren't these flowers Gorgeous?  They are from Petaloo Darjeeling Collection.  LOVE!

Here are acouple of photos of my process:
I blended distress inks on the tag and glued Tim Holtz terminology tissue in three strategic places making sure you could read the definition in the middle.  I played around with the flowers until I liked the arrangement.

Here is a pic of how I stamped Hello on a burlap pennant.  I distressed the edges before I adhered it to my card.
 

I have linked the products that are available from eclectic Paperie.

I hope you like my tag!  It was FUN to make!

Love this tag Sue...I have never shopped at Eclectic Papers...but wow they have some cool stuff!..Did you make your own burlap tags or did they come already cut? Not sure how you managed to make that flower so perfectly with twine...I always have a tough time working with that stuff! Great job as always!~ Enjoy your Sunday!

If anyone could get 2 different backgrounds and 5 flowers on a little tag and have it turn out fabulous, it's you, Sue! This is GORGEOUS! I love those flowers--especially the big white one, and how clever to hide the twine flower right there in plain sight! :)
