Botanic Orchid Tag with Heartfelt Creations

Today I'm sharing a tag that I created for Heartfelt Creations using the Botanic Orchid collection.  I love how many different flowers you can create from this one die...amazing. 

I used the Lattice Oval die for a stencil for the background on my tag.  I just outlined it using a white Uni-ball pen.  It's a great way to add some texture and pattern to plain paper. 

Be sure to stop by the Heartfelt Creations blog today and see all the design team members creations along with products lists and tutorial.
