This week at Two Sisters the challenge theme is Easter/Spring and we are sponsored by The Crafting Boutique.  This week I created a tag using Mushroom Mouse from this week's sponsor. 

To create my tag I started by cutting a tag out of pink card stock. I added a piece of  pink plaid patterned paper to the bottom and a pink dotted ribbon across the middle where the two papers meet.
I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens and backed it in pink card stock and then again in white card stock.  I used 3 different sized white paper flowers and colored the two smaller flowers using Spectrum Noir pens and added a pink twinkle goosebump to the center of the flowers.  I added 3 pink rhinestones to the corner of the image and finished it off by adding a piece of ribbon to the top of the tag.

I am entering this tag into the following challenges:
