End of Summer Gardening

Hello! It is sneak peek time again for Our Daily Bread Designs, and I am so loving the wonderful new sets for September! If you like gardening, I know you will too!! Here I have used the new Garden Tag set! I made this card for the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog today too. They are celebrating the end of summer with a special hop, so make sure and go check it out!

Here I have used three different tags stamped with real red and then cut out and
layered on a piece of real read card stock cut out with the tag die. I stamped the flower pot image on two of the tags along with sentiments from many of the new sets to be released on September 1st!

For the top of each tag, I added some red gingham ribbon. To tie each of the tags together, I laced some red bakers twine through some white eyelets both from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great weekend!
