Tags take less time

Yesterday when I had finished making a card I had a bit of time to spare and as my craft stuff was still spread all about my craft room I decided to make a tag. I love making tags but for me they are always an after thought when I have`nt much time to spare yet they are just as pretty as any card and easier to store (note to self - must make more tags).

 
what I used:
LC Designs Wavy Butterflies and Cats stamp set - £6 including 3 sentiment stamps
Joanna Sheen Essentials With Love die
Tattered Lace Essentials Circles dies
Woodware daisy punch
Tonic small daisy boot punch
small hole punches
 
 
I already had the LC stamp out so I simply masked off the house and flowers part of the stamp as I wanted a smaller image.
The ribbons and background papers are from my stash. That's another reason to do more tags - it uses up small stash bits.
The sentiment die was too big to fit onto the tag so I cut out the Love part and used that.
For the flower middles I used dots made with the hole punches and bevelled them but I almost used gems which I think would have looked good too.
