Postage tag card

I am right into the stamping, distressing thing at the moment and the combinations of bird and butterflies is gorgeous. Here is the third card I made used a combination of Tim Holtz "Papillion stamp set" and the Vintage blue stamps by Glitz sgtamps
Firstly I cut the card to the final size, stamped postage stamps in blue ink on it. I then cut out a piece of thin card to make the flap at the top and stamped a postage stamp /watermark on to this in brown (Pinecone) and glued this to the top of the card. The edges were smudged with the brown colour Pinecone, and smudges of blue were  added to the white card to give it a vintage look


The tag was cut out and the butterflies (Papillion) were stamped and coloured with colouring pencil. I placed a mask over the top and stamped the postage stamps. Edges were distressed with brown and a sentiment was added to the bottom of the tag. I glued some lace to the bottom of the tag and the bottom of the main page of the card.Three little stamps wereglued to the front of the main card. Inside I stamped the whole set of butterflies down the edge . Sooooo much fun to do......
