Hello Tag Card

My ears popped! I can hear again. I still have congestion and some tummy issues but I can hear! I was even able to watch the new episode of Brothers and Sisters from the kitchen and understand the dialogue, which let me make cards (I am making valentines which is beyond weird-I normally would be making backwards so it would be Christmasy ones-well, I did make one of those)

I so like this card. I wasn't sure what I wanted when I started but other than having no blue brads to mimic the paper background flowers, this came out so cute. I traced around a large tag I had after folding my paper in half.
I used scraps for the two layers on the front-one plain and one print. Ink all those edges in distress brown. Punch some flowers and some larger ones to layer in matching colors to the paper tag. Use brads to hold them together. Add your layers to the front, using pop dots on the top layer. Add the completed flowers with pop dots.Cut a small tag and stamp with a greeting and add a brad and attach to the middle. Punch a hole thru both layers on the tag "top" and tie with a scrap of ribbon.

For anyone wondering-I still have not found the cheese.And the dog isn't farting.Curiouser and curiouser.
