Tag you're it... first contribution!

I have never attempted a tag before, but inspired by the fab ones produced so beautifully by Ikki, I thought that I would have a go.
I decided to make one that could be used as a tag, card or notelet. I found out what would be the most appropriate size of envelope that I could make ( I always make all my own envelopes) and made the card/tag to fit the envelope!
I had great difficulty in finding any paper or card to match the ribbon and so ended up chalking some pink card in an attempt to make it tone in a little more.
The theme for Tag You're It, is stripy! SO, stripy card, embossed stripes on the butterfly's wings and the ribbon arranged in stripes... I tried!

    Hi Chris, Well, you tried and certainly pulled it off! Great tag, impressed that you make your own envelopes - that is such a good idea - and although I have struggled to get certain sizes, this never entered my head - even when it's not full of cold! Also like the different way you have tied the ribbon. Thank you sooo much for your kind words, and sooo pleased to see you back in the swing tagging it. xx ikki
