AYLI challenge

Dies to Die For

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Fabric Embellishment (eg ribbon, lace, twine) (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

I don't use a lot of fabric on my creations, but do have a habit of collecting bits of ribbon and twine from packaging. Some are not large enough to make proper bows so I use them on tags. 

This tag was the result of a play afternoon. 

I used Tim Holtz distress inks, Lavinia stamps, Marianne tags, Promarkers, Liquid Pearls and the rest from my stash.
