Here is my take on the tag:
I chose this beautiful image of my mother and instead of a vintage label or card, I went with this Basic Grey sentiment. Rather than a printed butterfly, I used this special crocheted butterfly with paper rose and pearls handmade by my cyber friend Cathi from Ireland. To balance the crochet and the dark center, I chose a dark brown crocheted trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Instead of vintage script and music papers, I used my new background stamps from Rogue Redhead Designs, LLC: Behind the Scenes stamp plate. I stamped Handwriting in Coffee Archival Ink directly onto a manila tag. I followed Nancy's prompt to use a scallop at the top of the tag--I stamped Handwritten Music Sheet onto a lighter beige card and punched a scallop circle with my Stampin' Up punch.
Other materials:
Ranger Distress Ink Marker: Vintage Photo for edging
Simplicity Pearl trim
