Pink toadstools

Inspired by all the little things has this delightful photo inspiration

 

I was quite literal in my interpretation

 

 

Once again I used post-it's. By sticking a couple together I was able to give some dimension to my toadstools. A scarp of paper for the grass and some hand doodled birds completes the tag.

Sticker tags

Cuttlebug mania have this cue

'Fruit, berries or anything from the garden' and off course you have to use a die or embossing folder.

I made these gift tags.

 

 The flowers are all made from the labels of a discontinued range of soaps and toiletry.

Initially I cut 2 identical tags, one out of plain white card stock and the second out of the flowery stickers. I cut about 1.5cms of the bottom of the flowers and added some checks to the white tag so that they stick out of the bottom.

Card stock: 160gsm in white

Flower stickers
