This was done because, my brain said Whoa! how utterly fabulous is that when I seen this on the board we are taking a stroll through for inspiration this weekend. The funny part is, I do know the artist who made it and evidently I was under a rock when she posted this as I had not seen it before either on her blog or here in the gallery when it was first made. The bird was die cut into a circle and then a second circle was cut the same size and glued to the backside of this tag that was cut from a Sizzix die packaging. The leaves were tucked in between the top circle die and the clear tag so the tape holding it on is hidden from the back with the second circle. plus it leaves a spot to write a note. I did end up finishing a few more tags that are a variation on this clear theme but, not really inspired by anything on that board and you can see them all here on the blog. You can find this challenge here to play along with us, tfl.

oh my goodness....I am so glad you were inspired by THAT tag...I love the heavy clear tag dry embossed...genius! So thanks, you've given me a card to case of yours...I just love how those few elements carry so much weight.

Fantastic job embossing that clear acetate packaging. I've never been able to get such beautiful detail when I tried it. Your little chickadee is super sweet - love his pink heart shaped breast.

Whoa is totally right Stacy! I am so impressed with this fabulous tag. I adore the image of this bird you colored so beautifully, but it is the clear embossed tag that is rocking my world because I would never think to do this- ever. So thank you for the great inspiration on this today. I love the delicate leaflet, the adorable little tag and your wonderful ribbon. ~Karen.
