Love this color combo! It's so versatile and could go summery or country. I went w/ the country look as these colors remind me of a cozy patchwork quilt.
For my 5" square card, I stamped the chair w/ quilt and die cut it w/ the matching die, then colored it w/ markers and a water brush. While I was die cutting, I went ahead and die cut a second one out of card board (cereal box) and glued the two together for a little lift.
For the double ended tag, I stamped one end, reversed it and stamped it on the other end then did the same w/ the matching die. The button in the lower corner is also a die cut and I added a little faux stitching.
Thanks so much for looking,

Julie, your card has such a warm homespun feeling with your wonderful rocking chair/quilt image. Wonderful coloring of that image and delightful details like the punched frame, pretty DPs and sweet heart label.
