I tried to leave the card white w/just the little tag/label thingies and a pc of ribbon but ... :( ... I failed! I just can't keep my hands off that distress ink! Anyway ...
Cut tag/label die for one tag and used the negative as a reverse mask. Used mask to ink center of die cut and directly on card. Stamped frame on die cut and twice on card. Stamped sentiments. Adhered die cut sentiment (thinking of you) w/dimensionals. Distressed onto card, then edges, then added a vit of the blue. Added MM ribbon. Mounted on blue layer (I'm kinda liking just having a slight edge on either side instead of always all the way around), then to card base.
Thanks for looking!

Very pretty! I often don't know where to begin with the distress ink. I love the way you haven't just smuged the colors, but given the edges a truly matted-sparkly feel. TFS!

You're too funny! stop, step away from the distress ink... just kidding! I love distress ink too, and when I start I too just keep going and going. It is addictive. The distressed background you created is wonderful, it compliments your tags really well! TFS!
