A new challenge begins today, 'Tag-along (and ATCs) Challenge'. Tags and ATCs are something I rarely make, so I'm looking forward to this challenge giving me the inspiration to step outside of my usual cardmaking.
The basic tag is MFT 'Cross-Stitch Tag' die. I have a few Marianne Designs cross stitch dies too and there are free design on their website. I chose the frog on this download HERE. I adapted it slightly to fit a rectangle rather than a square and I used crochet cotton for the stitching. I layered the completed cross stitch tag on two mats. The hole for the ribbon was part of the die cut, but I used a craft knife to cut a matching hole in the green and red mats. A piece of ribbon with a stitched pattern finished off my tag.
I am joining in the following challenge:
So pleased you stepped outside that zone Liz as this is really lovely, green and red works so well together and a real cute froggie. So pleased to see you at our new Tag-Along (and ATC) challenge, many thanks.
