Welcome.
I had some studio time yesterday and some orders to fill, and this is one of the outcomes.

I was inspired by a large cling "Bandanas" stamp by Stampendous that the lovely Kelly at Sandcastle Stamper sent me as a RAK.
I simply stamped and clear embossed it on the background blue. I was reminded of this technique by a challenge on the Splitcoast Stampers site.

The poppy stamp is part of a stamp in the Sweet n Sassy set Precious Poppies. I stamped it in black and used gelatos to colour them. After fussy cutting the image I mounted it on foam dots to give a wee bit of dimension.
The sentiment panel was also embossed, this time with blue ink. I hand cut the end to form a banner, and the centre of the tag was slightly lifted by using three foam dots under it.
The finishing detail was the addition of the pearls.
