Instructions

Die cut large tag in Kraft card stock, Very Vanilla and Pink Pirouette. Trim down the pink and vanilla tags to nest together. Then trim off 1" from bottom of Vanilla tag.
On Very Vanilla background pieces, stamp flower image in Pink Pirouette ink all over. Sponge edges with Crumb Cake ink, then distress edges with scissors. Attach front piece to your Kraft card base. Attach inside piece to a piece of Pink Pirouette first (to help bring in more of the pink color) and then to the inside of your card.
To create the rest of your tag, stamp your flowers in Pink Pirouette ink, then stamp sentiment in Crumb Cake ink. Layer onto pink tag. Use sponge daubers to add ink to Little B Mum tabs, then adhere to bottom of the pink tag, removing excess tab pieces. Cut strip of Kraft Corrugate Tape down to 3/4" wide. Attach rick rack trim behind Kraft Corrugate Tape and then secure this to your tag. Layer pink tag onto Kraft tag. Then secure entire tag layer onto your card front. Finish lower right hand corner of tag with three small pearls.
Mix Pink Pirouette refill ink with rubbing alcohol into a mister. Spritz all over your Pull Flowers to die them from white to pink. Pull on your strings to create your flower. Attach a Faceted Button to the center of your flower.
Use the 10 Second Bow Maker with Linen Thread to tie a double loop bow, then attach to the middle of your Faceted Button.
