A Spoon Full of Sugar - TAGS!

Happy Tuesday! Spoon Full of Sugar day and today I really stepped WAY out of my box for this weeks challenge. The challenge? To make a Tag - simple right? Well I am so in love with the vintage look - totally so in love with the talent it takes to make something look so perfect with that "random" scattered vintage look... So why did this tag take me over 3 hours to make? Cuz I am not too good at that random scattered vintage look and I stress over each placement!
Seriously I think I worked over 3 hours on this tag! LOL I started off with a kraft card stock, that I spritzed with Shimmerz and Smooches of brown tones. Then I sewed the edges. 
A Martha Stewart Eyelet Lace border punch across the bottom. Then do you love that velvet ribbon? It is from Doodlebug, found a bunch of colors in the bottom of one of my drawers - Then I tore two pieces of K&Company pattern papers and glued them down. Vintage lace across, Micheal's Bridal flowers with some rhinestones for just a little bling. My tag has a small tag of its own, punched with a Fiskar's Squeeze punch :0 ) and the sentiment from Papertrey Ink. Then my "image".....

I have been thinking about trying this for awhile... I look at it once and like how it came out, then look at it again and want to pitch it and do something different. But oh well... I am going to let you decide, should I have just stuck to coloring this gorgeous Stampavie Sarah Kay image? 
Started with a natural card stock, I stamped the image with embossing powder and then embossed with HIGH detail embossing powder. Then I sprayed the torn out image with Smooches Log Cabin mist. In person this really has a real shimmer to it! I then took a paper towel, and rubbed off all of the excess, and buffed the embossing powder. Again... one minute I love the look, and then the next I am really questioning this... LOL

I topped off my Tag with a tassel made from Bakers Twine from the Twinery - loving this stuff! 

Now make sure to head on over to Spoon Full of Sugar and see all the DT's Tags and play with us for a chance at a great prize!
