For a special freind

Todays card is a tag shaped card. I only shaped the front panel, so I decorated the inner back page with a smaller rose stamp from Anna Griffin. The large rose is from the Anna Griffin "say it with flowers" stamp collection. (the text is also one of Anna's) Yep I'm an Annna Griffin junkie :S
Promised myself I wouldn't spend til pay day, but Anna was on QVC soooo.... had to buy the 100 papers, they don't come round very often ;)

I got the idea for the paper weave section from watching "guess who" on tuesday. I cut out the tag shape, using a Colour My World template (papers from DCWV Summer Dream matstack). I then cut slits into the body of the tag, before weaving strips of contrasting paper through, taping on reverse. I am very pleased with the effect :D The rose is coloured with promarkers.

I am entering this card for the following challenges;
Enjoy :D XXX
