I salvaged a tag from my daughter's new blouse recently.
This week's Tuesday Trigger's poppies reminded me of the tag's gorgeous swirled flowers and butterfly wings.
Yay for me...a card finished for my sister who has a birthday this month. ;)
I die cut the bottom of the recycled tag with a Sizzix die and attached it to a white tag that was sponged with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink.
I inked up KaiserCraft Numbers for the tag's background and used Hero Arts Untitled Word Shadow for the birthday sentiment.
I offstamped that circle and stamped again for a light look in the background of the card base.
The deckled edge of the card is Versamarked and gold embossed.
Birthdays, flowers, and butterfly wings speak summer to me....lots and lots of birthdays in my family!!! LOL.
I am a bit more chatty this post than the previous...the heat brought on a migraine and I was afraid I couldn't put coherent sentences together.
I believe it took me countless times to edit this post, though.
I'm feeling much better~I thank God for that!
I pray you are doing ok...if not, let me know how I can pray for you.
Thanks for stopping in...
