Yesterday I bought a new handbag and I decided to use the tag as I thought it was too nice to throw away. So I decided to use it to make a card.
I cut off the bottom to add as a trim then stamped the tulips onto a scrap of white card which I stuck on top of the tag and trimmed to the same width.
I painted the image with Zig Markers and a watercolour brush then added a little Sakura starlight to the flowers only which unfortunately doesn't show on the photo. T drew round the whole image with a light grey Zig marker and made the tiny bow.
I mounted the tag onto a scrap of pale blue which I'd put through my ribbler then added the little heart and the tiny punched butterfly stamped the sentiment and added the three small gems.
The image is an old Hero Arts wood mounted stamp which I bought second hand and haven't used before . This is my NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) so I'd like to enter this card into Darnell's NBUS Challenge #5.
I'd also like to take it along to Pixie's Snippets Playground Week #194 .

Wonderful tulips, and so beautifully watercolored. I love that you spied the tag and knew how you could recycle into something lovely. It takes a 'good eye' to see the possibilities, and you certainly did! I love it! TFS & Hugs
Your card looks so pretty. A perfect setting for that slim stamp. A great use for your tag too! I love to see upcycled items on cards.
Excellent job of upcycling that tag, Barb! You remind me that I've got some pretty cool tags in my Bitlets Box, too! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #5 ~ which was so long ago now! I know you are aware of the Mister's surgery and recovery; nevertheless, I’m sorry that my nursing duties have delayed my visit to thank you. Thank you, too, for your good wishes and prayers! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
