A Birthday Tag

I made this birthday tag for my friend and colleague Jane, the most generous person and a most talented crafter
The tag is built around an graphic from the vast image collection of the Graphics Fairy. Karen collects the most amazing images and she generously shares them with the crafting community - Karen, thank you so much.
I cut out the image and layered it on Jenny Bowlin paper and embellished it with some ribbons which I had in my stash, some sewing around the edges and a little printed label. Oh, and I put a little bit of glitter in the middle of the little hydrangea flowers ... Enjoy, Petra.

    Very, very lovely...and yet a bit funky, too. I love that hydrangea from GP and love how the shades of your ribbon coordinate. I couldn't remember where I saw the paper...aha! I have that. Thank you for letting me know!
