Western Flair TX Tag

Created this Western Flair Tag using Tags, Bags,
Boxes & More Cricut cartridge.

Used Kraft cardstock. Cut 2 of the Tag
images. After stamping & embossing one
tag I attached one tag to back for sturdiness.

Used some Texas rubber stamps bought from
local store, Stamp Asylum.

Heat embossed using VersaMark ink & embossing
powder. Was nervous about getting blue where it
needed to be on the BlueBonnets & green for the
leaves.

Embossed the tag with embossing folder.


Inked the edges of the tag with Tim Holtz Distress
Ink.

Finshed tag off with ribbon that K Andrew had
wrapped around a stamp set I had won from her.

Photographed near BlueBonnets in my backyard.
