I used a tape transfer technique to transfer the text and stick it on the shipping tag. To do the tape transfer you need clear parcel tape which you stick over the words or image you want, and cut to size. Rub the tape well (front and back) with the back of a teaspoon (or your thumb nail) and then soak for 5-10 minutes in water and the paper will peel away leaving the ink attached to the tape. You may need to rub to get the last of the paper off. When it has dried the tape will be sticky again.
I stuck the shipping tag onto the cardstock with the stickers then realised I wanted to distress the edges of the tag so I peeled the whole thing off and did that.
I mounted the tag again then realised I wanted to add colour to the card stock. So I peeled the whole thing off (again!) and rubbed an SU! stamping spots over the card stock. I stuck it all down for a third and final time!

WOW! This looks great Steph! A super job with the transfer technique and considering you removed the tag twice and didn't destroy it you did exceptionally well!

Your cards are wonderful. They are all so clear. Well done for giving such clear instructions. I'll try this technique over the next week and post in my new gallery.
