Forget-me-not Tag Card


What a week this has been! Festival time in Edinburgh, some Commonwealth Games events and a number of incidents impacting on traffic have not been a good combination. On two days I actually spent more time trying to get to and from work then I actually spent in the office ... Fingers crossed that this will be better in the new week, but I will not hold my breath just yet.

The card above is again created using Dovecraft Forget-me-not products by Trimcraft. This time I used the beautiful 'bunch of flowers' stamp.

For a perfect ink distribution and impression I conditioned this clear stamp with a high quality eraser before the first use. I stamped the image using a Memento ink pad and coloured it in with ProMarkers. Step-by-step instructions and a product list for this card can be found in my Trimcraft gallery.

And for those who are wondering about the stapler: I used a normal office stapler and standard staples to attach the raffia string to the tag.
