Hi crafters! Today I have two vintage tags to share made with a mix of stamped images, patterned papers and ephemera.

The focal point of these tags are the flowers stamped with Tim Holtz Flower Shop and die cut with the new coordinating Flower Shop dies by Simon Says Stamp. I also used various stamps, die cuts, and bits and pieces that I found on my desk.

Start by stamping the flower from Flower Shop with Potting Soil and Fern Green ink on heavystock paper. I used the MISTI so that I could easily add more ink to some of the areas.

Color the flowers softly with Distress Watercolor Pencils and blend with just a tiny bit of water.

Pick a mix of papers, sand and ink the edges. I die cut the tags from brown cardstock and Tim Holtz Backdrops paper. The rest of the images are Pocket Cards, Journal Cards, a piece of ephemera and a leftover dry embossed paper.

I matched the tag with the blue flower with the blue dry embossed paper and blue pearls. The rest of the embellishments were found in my scrap box and on my desk.

May Arts Faux Silk Wrinkled ribbon was dyed with a Distress Ink and Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated inks.

I also die cut Simon Says Stamp Circle Loops from gold kraft paper. Tuck buttons under the paper to add dimension.

Having coordinating dies makes it so easy to cut out these detailed flowers.

I also added a Tim Holtz Quote Flair button.

The sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Simply Fabulous and was die cut from cream cardstock. The filmstrip ribbon was die cut from Simon Says Stamp Acetate with Tim Holtz Picture Show and colored with alcohol ink.

The apricot flower was matched with a few embellishments in similar colors and various bits and pieces. I also die cut two circles using the circle die from Simon Says Stamp Lemon Tree Embossing folder and die set.

Using brown and green ink instead of black ink for the flowers makes for a softer look.

Stitch the buttons to the tags and tie the tread on the front.

Stamp the label from Simon Says Stamp Mixed Labels with Pawsitively Saturated inks. The roses were die cut with Tim Holtz Vault Boutique from maroon kraft and inky paper. The sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Beachcombing.
