I made a bunch of these tags as favors for my daughters Sweet Sixteen party that is coming up next month. It was a bit expensive to buy all of the purple flowers that I needed so I found an alternative. In the bridal isle of Michaels there were white flowers that came in 12 packs. I inked them a little and then sprayed them with Glimmer Mist. In that isle they also had bunches of small flowers on picks that I pulled apart and added to each tag. I sponged some platinum ink on the leaves to tone them down a little bit. For my bling I added some Diamond Dust on a few of the flowers.

Cathryn,
These tags are absolutely gorgeous! I hope these girls appreciate the work you put into them. Oh, I am just blown away by them. They have such a great style to them and I love what you did to make the flowers. That was a great idea to go to the bridal section of Michaels to get flowers. Actually, it was a fantastic idea, because your flowers here can not be beat by anything else. Love these tags!!

Oh my... these are just so beautiful! I love the color, the flowers with all the details and that shape too! Very clever to check out the bridal department and make them your own! I bet your daughter is going to love them and her friends! There is no way you have a child going to be 16! NO way! Great job!
Your tag is so beautiful Cathryn. I love this color combo my favorite. Purple and a hint of Green your daughter and her friends are going to LOVE IT. Wonderful Job.

WOW! Absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous! I can't believe you made a bunch of them. I'm getting the urge to go shopping for some flowers now. ;)
holy smokes cathryn this is just beautiful i dont know what else to say!
My oh my Cathryn this tag turned out stunning. It is a true visual delight. I adore the flowers and the look of sugar crystals. The color scheme is fantastic! Soft yet alluring! One of my past tips on my crafting tip of the week segment was encouraging crafters to go to the flower & wedding sections of our local craft, department & fabric stores. Great minds think alike! Truly a thing of beauty!
Crafty best wishes,
