AAA Cards Challenge 248 - Add a Tag or Ticket

 Good Morning/Evening,

It's time for a new challenge at AAA Cards, and this fortnight we want you to

Add a Tag or Ticket

to your CAS card, see challenge card further down.


Here's my take on the challenge



I started by doing a bit of ink blending through a stencil on a card panel. Then I cut out a tag from the panel, stamped with a word stamp using the same ink as I ink blended with. I placed the tag inside the hole on the panel and stamped some flowers using an embossing ink and sprinkled over some Distress Glaze in the same colour as the ink I used previously. I heat embossing the flowers and addhered the panel to a card. The tag got a string and some 3D foam on the back before being attached to the card.
