Birthday Card for Cyprus

This is a card I made for my BFF's dad. Pamela's parents stay in Cyprus and I thought I'd make a Scottish themed card to remind him of home.

well, 1 outta 3 ain't bad

Only managed to make one thing today, but hey-ho. So here it is, my very first tag for a challenge. And its for the Tag You're It! Week 45 challenge. The theme was Love & Romance, and here is my interpretation of that...

I tried to take some close ups to show the glitter flock I used for Willow's jumper and fluffy socks, and to show the pearl pen on the pink heart and Willow's jeans.

Recipe: I used a sheet of the darker pink paper from the BG Bittersweet 6x6 pad and folded it in half to make the tag. I used the Fiskars threading water punch to shape the bottom edge of the tag, and the crop-a-dile to make the hole and set the large eyelet at the top of the tag.

I stamped 7 blue hearts and 1 pink heart using one of the free stamps from Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine and cut these out. I arranged the blue ones and stuck down, then used another of the free stamps to stamp the greeting on the pink heart and attached it with foam pads. Adding pearl pen accents.

I stamped the Willow with Hot Chocolate by Elisabeth Bell for Whiff of Joy using Memento ink onto Concorde card and coloured her with promarkers. I used papermania glitter flock in the bright pink to make her jumper and socks (using a quickie glue pen), and sakura white gellyroll to highlight various areas.

Finally I added ribbons and buttons from my stash.

As I've already said, this is my first attempt at a tag for a challenge, so please let me know what you think (and be honest, I can certainly take constructive criticism)
