the front of my tag (which is actually the back of a previous stamping that I was not happy with)....
to the back I added a piece of red card, stamped with a verse and leaf from EI Tall Trees
then laminated (could this is classed as a form of acetate?) Sorry I missed this LIM.
Why did I do this? Well, it's Dave's birthday on Saturday and he's an avid reader and I thought the tag would make a lovely bookmark that could be used long after the occasion.
I used a repositionable tape to fasten the tag to a red mount so when he says "Do you want this back for your bits and pieces pile" - I can say "NO" and produce the bookmark!
The leaf is a Marianne Creatable die, and the stamps are a various collection.

A lovely card and a brilliant idea to make a bookmark. Especially good that you are using up some of your bits and pieces but I suspect like mine the pile grows faster than you can use them up!!
Gorgeous card, love the tag and die cut leaves :)
