Birthday Tag

I don't make a lot of tags, but I saw this weeks I Love Promarkers challenge#150 - Tag it! and I knew I would be sending something to a friend soon for her 50th Birthday, so I decided to make a tag for her gift. I'd already purchased the paper, so I tried to make something that would go along with the paper.

I used a kraft based and the image is from digi doodle shop coloured with promarkers: Maroon, Burgundy, Pear Green, Marsh Green and Olive Green. The papers are from prima's botanical range and I added some ribbon from my stash.

I'm also submitting this for:
- Totally Paper Crafts #149 - Ribbon
- Paper Crafting Journey - Anything Goes

Happy Graduation

A graduation card today - first I've made and probably the only one any time soon! My sister has recently passed her course to become a Mental Health Nurse :-) and so this is for her.

I folded the card myself and added the punched border along the front. Then added the ribbon from my stash (actually think it came wrapped around some PJ's last christmas *g*) and used a digital image from Birds Cards, resized several times and coloured with promarkers - black, slate and ruby. The sentiment is from stampin' up. Added a few gems to finish and made a tag to match.

I used Retro Sketches #9:
