Woven Threads and Botanical Tags
I have not used my Botanical Tags dies nearly enough. They are so beautiful!
The card I have to share with you today is inspired by the latest As You See It Challenge:
I love how this type of challenge is so open to your imagination. As long as your design includes all of the elements listed on the challenge, you are good to go! I knew that the Botanical Tags Dies would be part of this one because the die I used covers 3 of the elements required right away! It’s a tag. It’s a die cut. It has leaves! Whaaa!
I cut the tag out of Whisper White Cardstock and coloured it using the Stampin’ Blends. I ended up colouring the entire lower portion with my Black Stampin’ Blends! A bit colour happy, perhaps? LOL!
The Triple Banner Punch was used to cut the bottom of both the botanical tag die and the Pool Party banner. The branch/vine was cut using another of the dies from the Botanical Tags Dies and was also coloured with my Blends Markers.
The sentiment is from the stamp set in the Darling Label Punch Box by Stampin’ Up!. The Darling Label Punch was also used on this card as part of the layers on the tag. The sentiment was stamped on Sahara Sand cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink, then punched out with a circle punch to layer over the punched out Pool Party Scallop circle. I used yet another punch, the Leaf Punch, to cut the leaves that are tucked under the left side of the tag. The little Rhinestone Basic Jewel and the Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine were just the right embellishments to complete the look I wanted for my tags.
All this is layered over the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper, matted with Whisper White cardstock. Stampin’ Dimensionals hold that onto the Pretty Peacock coloured Woven Threads Designer Series Paper layer on the Pretty Peacock cardstock base of the card.

I loved reading how you made this card Amy and I have to confess I’d missed that gorgeous tag in the catalogue and had to go and look it up! Love the way you coloured it – the black is brilliant! – and how you layered it with those beautiful papers.

The Botanical Tag Dies are easy to miss in the catalogue, but definitely have some great WOW power on your projects. Thank you for taking the time to send some kind words.

Amy your card is so pretty and that tag is inspired – why didn’t I think of that?! I love your choice of papers too – they add interesting pattern detail without taking away from those pretty tag details. A lovely card that is sure to be well received from someone under the weather.
