Flea Market Vellum Pocket Tag Set w/Anabelle O'Malley

I love to have sets of cards and tags ready to go for those last minute occasions that arise. That is why I decided to create a set using the Flea Market line. This collection is just gorgeous and filled with beautiful colors, sweet motifs and fun, vintage details. I chose to use some of the softer elements and paired them with vellum to create a pretty set of vellum pocket tags.

Here's what I did....

I started with some shipping tags and my watercolors.

I wanted to add some soft color to the tags without overwhelming them. Here are a couple of the tags that I painted.

Once they dried, the fun part began. I used the die-cuts, some chipboard and some stickers from the collection to embellish the tags. I also used the resin flowers. They were the perfect accent! I purposely left my tags sentiment free so that I could add my own later, depending on my needs.

Next, I cut three strips of vellum to 3" x 8". I stitched around the edges to create my pockets.

After sliding the tags into the pockets, I embellished them as well. I tried to use elements that complemented the tag inside, since you can partially see them through the vellum.

I love how all of the little pocket tags look together and am even thinking of tying them together with twine and using them as a gift themselves. That is, if I can give them up :)

Thanks for stopping by today. Have fun creating your own tags!

They are really beautiful, but you can't really see them with the new photo editing that folks seem to be using now, bringing up the lightening of the photo so much that color and detail are lost. I'm sure they are more lovely with regular shots!!
