Here is what I made for today's technique challenge - Cut outside the box. I stamped this adorable Totally Stampalicious "Willameana" image on W/C paper with Stazon black ink. I used my Fiskars Diamond template, traced around image and cut image/diamond out - with Willameana partially outside the diamond shape. Coloured image and paper pieced her pj's and headband. Applied Stickles to her headband and pj's. Matted image with ruby red. Faux stitched around edges. Used crop-o-dile and punched hole for flower shaped eyelet. Tied on the ribbon and raffia. I cut out a white diamond shape and attached to back. Coloured Willameana's Teddy Bear and placed him on the backside of tag - Wrote "To" and "From" on the back of tag.
Ink: blush blossom, stazon jet black, real red, riding hood red
Accessories: ribbon, raffia, crop o dile, eyelet, white gel pen, Diamond Stickles, Fiskars diamond template, cutter and mat, prisma colour pencil crayons, gamsol, blending stumps, mat pack, black marker

This is adorable. What a wonderful idea to create a tag. I have avoided images on tags because they wouldn't fit, and now I don't have to any more. The combo of ribbon and raffia is extra charming.
