Tea Thyme Paper Tag

Hi friends!  I hope you are well.  We are in the midst of a heat wave and I'm not liking it.  Heat and humidity zap my energy.  But, it does make me appreciate the change of seasons so much!

In my quest to start using papers I've been hoarding because they are just "too pretty" to cut, I came across these gorgeous Prima Tea Thyme papers that I won as part of a giveaway awhile ago.  I also had a beautiful Prima butterfly and flower set (who knows how long I've had it) that I thought matched perfectly.


I decided to create a tag with the paper.  I did a bit of fussy cutting from the patterned paper of the roses, leaves and label and simply adhered them to the tag.  The flowers and butterfly were placed next.  The flower was accented with leaves from a Prima die.   A piece of crochet lace was added to the bottom of the tag and a satin piece of ribbon to the top.  Tiny pink pearls add a finishing touch.  If you click on each photo, you can see it in larger detail.


And there you have it.  The tag came together so quick and easy.  I made another one in this same style but with different colors that I'll share another time.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for the sweet comments you leave.  I appreciate each and every one.  Have a wonderful week!
