Hello and happy Sunday! I am featuring a tag I made for the Tag You're it Challenge #67.

Here is the inspiration tag:

This lovely tag inspired me to use a flourish on my tag. 

I was trying to replicate her color scheme. I used paper from Stampin Up from pack of paper I had. I am really happy with the colors, even if they aren't an exact match to the inspiration tag.

The tag die is from Simon Says Stamp, flourish and Butterfly dies are from Memory Box. Little word stamp is Hero Arts.

Thanks for visiting today.
