For the first card, I started with a blue card base and chose a very light coloured background paper which I embossed with Swiss Dots (CB). I trimmed the blocks (Cre8tive Hands) giving them a tag shape, punched a slot at the top and then used a decorative border on the punch and then added an embossed line above it. I watercoloured the block and then added clear glitter using a gel pen to the letters. I strung the tag to a piece of blue seam binding and then mounted it to my background using 3D foam tape. I used double sided tape to secure the ends to the back of my layer and then mounted this large element to my card front. I tied on a short piece of the same seam binding to the one on the front with one knot to simulate a bow.
For the second card, I paper pieced a background with decorative paper scraps and added a strip of yellow paper over where they join. I added a piece of coordinating organza ribbon securing the ends to the back with double sided tape and then mounted it to my blue green card. The cute image has a baby hanging out on the moon and a star (Cre8tive Hands)!! I watercoloured it and added clear glitter to the moon. Passed my pattern tracing wheel on all four edges to add some texture. I mounted it a rectangle of blue green cardstock, embossed a line and them punched out five little stars from the bottom edge. I added a piece of yellow decorative paper in behind to really make the stars stand out. I mounted this focal element to my card using 3d foam tape.
