Graphics 45 Tag Envelope.....


Good morning out there!  I'm here to share a new thing for me; a tag envelope.  Now I'm sure these have been around for a long time, so where in the world have I been?  I haven't made a tag yet to go inside so I'm just showing you this little pretty.  The envelope will hold a large tag and I plan to make a tag you can write on.  Then you will just tuck it inside and send it on it's way. 

I found a pattern for this envelope on the internet, but you could even use something you already have.  I used Graphic 45 paper on this and of course Spellbinders dies for the leaves and the flower.  A little bling here and there and the starfish and the butterfly are cut from a page of the paper pack and then I added a little shine onto them.  The starfish has 3D Crystal Lacquer and while still wet, I sprinkled glitter on it.  The leaves have some Perfect Pearls brushed onto them to add some shine.  The little clock is an treasure that I had and I cannot for the life of me remember where it came from.  But I thought it looked so cute tucked down into the flower. 

So there you have it.  Why don't you give one of these a try.  I will most probably be making more of these in the future.

Well the weekend is upon us, it seems like only yesterday when I was saying Good Monday Morning to you.  Where does the week go?  So go forth and enjoy your weekend.  And no matter where you are or what you are doing, take a moment just for you and "Breathe"!
