I used a tag shape I already owned, and cut the silhouette file out of masking paper. I don't love handmade decorations to look too matchy-matchy (doesn't that defeat the point of handmade?) so I used both the positive and negative parts of the ballerina cuts to sponge my tags. A flourishy sentiment (a mix of *you* and *thank...for coming* sentiment) and a few sequins finished things off.
Which version is your favorite? pink ballerina on white tag, or white ballerina on pink tag?
And, a simple silhouette file can be used for more than just favor tags:
Cut out of 12x12 inch cardstock, they can beautiful hold up either end of a banner ♥.
wow, these are beautiful. slightly prefer the pink ballerina on white but love the fact that they differ. gorgeous photos as well...
ReplyDeleteOh, these are lovely, Elena! I think I like the white ballerina on pink better. I agree, my Silhouette is handy for things like this when I don't have the right stamps in my arsenal.
ReplyDeleteI so agree, I thank my Silhouette many times! Our daughter's cowgirl theme would not have existed without it! Such elegant tags and centerpieces.
ReplyDeleteAll of your creations are simply stunning!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I think I like the pink on white because it's easier. Ha! These turned out great, loving the sequins!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Elena! Did you ink them with distress inks? They look lovely and very even! :)
ReplyDeleteLove them both but the pink on the white is my fave!! Very pretty party decorations ;)
ReplyDeleteballerinas and sequins...a perfect match!!
ReplyDeletethey are both just beautiful-and just like my kids, I can't choose a favorite!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use the ballerina, Elena! Your tags are so pretty, and perfect with your lovely centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are pretty beyond belief!! I couldn't pick a favourite - I agree that a mix and match is perfect for these tags and the colours for your blending are sugary sweet perfection!!
