Forget Me Not (Larger Tag)
Cut out a layered tag using cardstock. Use a punch to adorn the top corners of the tag and adhere together. Create a pocket from music cardstock. Tear and fold down the outside of the pocket. Attach and layer assorted blue and a few pink Prima flowers (5PM-PRIMAKIT1) to outer fold and around the opening of the pocket. Punch out 1/8" circles from the bright yellow Prima flower petals. Glue a yellow dot to each flower that exposes a center.

Print out a computer generated section of text relating to forget-me-nots. Add a strip of lace to the top and age with Tea Dye distress ink ( 5TH-TIM19510 ). Tuck and glue into pocket opening. Tie a strip of lace around the pocket and attach pocket to tag. Stamp a bird onto the top of tag and floral design to tiny aged tag. Tie a length of tulle and the tiny tag through the top.

Quiet Time (Wall Hanging)
Print out an image of a girl on thread and tear around the edges. Use Broken China distress ink (5TH-TIM21414) around the torn edges. Adorn the child's hair with small pink Prima flowers (5PM-PRIMAKIT1). Place a bird into her hand. Trim a blue Prima flower into a wing and attach to the bird. Sew three tiny buttons onto her garment. Layer the child image with background papers to match and machine sew all together. Punch out title into edges of paper. Back the open letters with blue cardstock, sew to the paper and a torn panel of muslin. Fold over and stitch a sleeve large enough to insert a thin dowel rod. Knot Maya Road ribbon (5MR-JE001) on each end of the rod. Glue a flower on each knot. Bend and layer Prima flowers together while gluing to add dimension. Dot each center of flowers with glitter glue.

Fleur (Small Tag)
Spray tag with Glimmer Mist (5TA-ROBEGG or 5TA-PERIW). Sand lightly when dry to resemble worn denim jeans. Trim a rectangle of paper with scallop edged scissors. Stamp one side of the paper with a flourish design. Age paper with Tea Die distress ink (5TH-TIM19510). Roll paper into a cone and seal with tape. Punch 6 holes for eyelets and wrap into the tag. Attach cone between eyelets. Thread pink silk ribbon thru holes and wrap the cone in ballet slipper form. Glue cotton balls in cone to hold it open. Begin to fold, layer and stack Prima flowers over the cotton and cone and tag until it looks abundant. Punch a scrap of cardstock with a lace design and attach to bottom of tag. Fold and layer 3 Prima flowers into corner. Use rub-ons to spell title. Slip some Maya Road ribbon (5MR-JE001) into the top of the tag.
