A PEAR OF TAGS

A bit of a pun there for my heading as I'm not offering a pair of tags but a pear of a tag lol!   

I had great fun creating this tag - lots of lovely texture with stencils, paste, stamping, stamped ribbon for the background.  The pear image is an old one from Tracy Evans for Aallandcreate. 

I stamped it twice and layered it to give it more of a statement on the busy background.  I added some thread behind  and can you spot I even found an old leaf brad in my stash!  Brads need love too.  The ephemera words are from the same set.  I found a fruit embellishment for the ribbon at the top.  I layered this onto some strong cardboard to protect it and give it strength.  

I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks for all my colours and wanted to take my inspiration from the old sweets we used to have called Fruit Salad.

I'm adding this into the following 

Tag Along - AG plus garden.- I have a pear tree in my garden but no fruit as yet.
