Coffee tag and card

Hallo,
Showing you a tag and a card that I made to go with the coffee jar from yesterday. The tag was easy to see with the bottle yesterday but I thought I would give you a close up...
I used a regular 'Office Depot' tag and grunged it up with distress inks - tea dye, walnut stain and antique linen, and then added some SU 'elegant eggplant'. The stamps are from 'Flourishes' and I paper pieced them onto DP using Distress black soot. The round tag is also from 'Office depot' - had a silver rim but I used my gold krylon on it 'cause I liked the gold better with this paper.
The fibers I used are pieces of yarn left over from a rash of knitting scarves last year and the brown on the bottom of the tag is some I found at A.C. Moore and have been using alot - need to find more !!!
On the card I used the stacked cups as a backround on kraft cardstock and paper pieced the big cup and another stack of small cups - then cut them apart to use as 'hanging' cups off the ribbon - more of that great brown trim...
Then as I thought the card needed something I took on cup in the 'backround' and outlined it with a brown sharpie, colored it in, and then put a layer of 'chrystal laquer' over it ti make it stand out a bit.
All for today - Take Care

Coffee Anyone?

Hallo,
I had to try out this set I got from Flourishes a few weeks ago and haven't used yet . Yes its another etched jar :). I am having fun with these as you may have noticed!!! I used up 2 bottles of glass etching compound and just bought a third (thanks goodness for A.C. Moore and JoAnns coupons!!), and I had to buy another jar of clear embossing powder too.
This jar was done on 2 sides and then I made a gift tag and matching card which I will show you tomorrow.
I am getting these lined up to post for the next few days - I am writing this on wed. which means I have to go back to work tomorrow :( - Oh well I guess I need to catch up on all the goings on of my fellow coworkers lives....
Take Care
Tera
