Step 1
Cut the tags from the watercolor paper, measuring 6cm x 13cm.
Trim the two top corners and punch a hole for the ribbon and twine
Step 2
Paint the tag with different shades of turquois watercolor paint.
Chalk (Color) the edges with the Distress Ink and add some randomly on the tag.
Step 3
Stencil stars over the entire tag with the Nuvo Glimmer. Leave to Dry.
Step 4
Die cut the words “With Love” from some off-cut watercolor paper.
Step 5
Select some elements from the embellishment sheet and fussy cut about 1mm from the edge, leaving a small white edge around the element.
Step 6
Apply fairy dust to strategic areas on the elements, use the glue pen. Work on a piece of paper, that way the access Fairy Dust is collected and can be put back in the container and is not wasted.
