Butterfly Tag and Gift Bag

Hello, everyone!  Today I am sharing something a little different!  This is the first time I've made a gift bag and coordinating tag!

I have been wanting to join Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge lately since I've missed the last few challenges. The theme this fortnight is V for Vases and/or Vanilla plus a Butterfly. I've got all three! At first this theme stumped me - I only have one vase stamp in my stash - so I searched my digital files and found this gorgeous image from Gecko Galz.  It was on their Floral Fantasies Collage Sheet (I believe this sheet is no longer available).

I die-cut the image with Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangles and fussy-cut the vase so I could pop it up with foam tape.  I added a couple more layered rectangles and mounted on a die-cut tag (My Favorite Things Stitched Traditional Tag Stax). The cardstock for the tag is Stampin' Up Very Vanilla (my old stash), which I dry embossed with Darice Butterflies. I added two die-cut butterflies (no-name dies from ebay), embellished with purple gems.  The tag is tied with beautiful ribbon that I won in a candy from Brenda last fall (thank you, Brenda!).

The gift bag was made from a 12x12 sheet of patterned paper (K and Company) and I followed the video tutorial here. I added a die-cut butterfly border (Joy Craft) along the bottom, embellished with purple gems.

My tag and bag fit the challenge over at The Unstampabelles, which is Anything But a Card, with a twist of add a tutorial or a link to a tutorial as to how to make the project (I've got both, plus no stamping!).
