Okay, I did this to look like a postcard, an old couple with dreams of traveling but too poor. started off with chocolate chip and stamped crosshatch on it with white craft ink and used signo pen and put in white dots on the X's. embossed I love you and punched out with postage stamp punch. Made a large tag and covered with strips of masking tape and sponge pink on it to look like leather, then used versamark with clear EP to make it look glossy. had some leftover kalidacolor embossing scraps and put the silver at the bottom of the tag and made the strap with another piece and stapled on with pink staples..used a pink button with pink scrappers floss tied thru and glued this on. Embossed the bear image in black and colored and cut out.

Your faux leather tag is perfect - I've never had good luck with the 'tape' method, but I will have to try again after seeing this! Thanks for playing!

Sweet little couple you have here and lots of interesting features like crosshatch with the pen, faux leather on the tag and an enjoying story to tread!
