Tags, tags and more tags !

Show me a paper crafter who doesn't like making tags and I'll eat my hat! I made these tags after being inspired by a lovely lady from The Artful Splodger demo-ing how to make 3d flowers with The Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die at the NEC in November.You can see her demo here http://www.artfulsplodger.co.uk/demos/tattered-floral-rose As I'd just bought the die, I thought I'd have a go and make.... guess what?... some tags of course! so here are the results.
I stamped the tags with various images such as postage marks, music and text. I then painted both sides of the tattered floral layers with mica paints and stamped over with background stamps before constructing the flowers. I cut the leaves on my Pazzles Inspiration, using a file from their Craftroom site. Here are some more tags I made with flowers cut on my Pazzles. I found the cutting file sometime last year but unfortunately can no longer find the link. I'll keep searching and update this post as soon as I find it. These flowers are a joy to make.
