Michael Strong Card of the Day - Wednesday

This card started with the tag.  To create the background of the tag I had smeared some distress paints (Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire) with some white acrylic paint on some paper.  Then I stamped a script stamp in black on top.  I had cut out a flower from Mike's Busy-bee stamp set and stamped that all over in black along with a dot circle stamp.  Then I punched out the tag from my new Stampin Up tag punch.   I added an old Stampin Up! sentiment and some ribbon and the tag was done!  I couldn't see me just giving a tag to someone so I made a card out of it. 

First I smeared some transparent embossing paste over some white cardstock using a swirly stencil.  Then I added a Night of Navy doily, a Bashful Blue butterfly and a daisy made from white and Night of Navy.  I mounted the white background on Bashful Blue and added to a Night of Navy base.  Then I added some pearls to the butterfly and a few sprinkled around the tag and the card was complete!
