We're Behind You

Tag your it! I created a tag to share with you today using the 'Were Behind You' digital stamp by Stretch N' Bubbles.

I created this tag by adding layers of solid and pattern papers. I wanted the digital image to hang loosely on the project. I punched out the image using a wide oval punch and then added a jump ring. This tag says, 'We're behind you all the way.' Next, I added some fibers to give texture and color. This digital image would be great on cards, stationary, scrapbook pages or any project. You can purchase the image I used in the store here.
