When Is A Tag Not A Tag?

When it's a card!

Nice to see you this evening,I've been playing and boy have I had some fun. I only tend to get my Cricut out on a Friday, it's my day off and as the weekend is nearly upon us it means a more laid back evening, so I've taken over the dining room,spread out my stash and got creating.

I'm more than a little happy with the result,I've been wondering what to do for my BIL's card for weeks then suddenly a spark of inspiration after visiting the lovely Linda,my blogging buddy who has a bit of a thing for tags. I cut the tags and the stars and scallops using Plantin's School Book Cartridge.The DP is Prima Marketing Cavalier Collection"Riviera"

I was desperate for some string,somewhere in one of my drawers is a length of rope from when I shortened the new overhead airer where I have put it I have no idea,I'm sure DH won't notice that I've removed a little more :)This was just perfect as it divides into strings

I hand cut and stamped some bunting ,adding some fake stitches and went mad distressing all of the edges. The scalloped edge was double cut to layer up after I'd run the cream through the cuttlebug using my Swiss Dots embossing folder. I then just added a selection of ribbons and rope and gathered them with a big button. Boy does this card make me happy.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
