Mirtillamente Craft Shop - Therapy for the Soul Tag

Hello, everyone!

I'm back today with a fun share for
Mirtillamente Craft Shop!
This is a wonderful shop located in Italy!

With the Summer season coming to a quick end here in Canada, 

I was inspired to use my Suzi stamp from Julie Nutting to create this pretty tag. 
I'll have you know this is my very first Julie Nutting Doll project!
I know I'm late to the party, but now I'm as hooked as everyone else!
It was so much fun! :o)

The papers I used were from the Prima Havana Collection.

 They were all left over from the fabulous June Monthly Kit.

Here is my finished tag:

Here is how I created it...

I began by stamping the image on a piece of Julie Nutting paper that I had in my stash.

 Then I stamped it on various pieces of the Havana papers,

 as shown in the photo below. 

Then I fussy cut all the pieces, and inked them with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Using a glue pen, I adhered all the clothing pieces to the doll.

To create the tag base, I began with a piece of 4 1/4" x 8 1/4" Kraft Cardstock. 

I angle cut the corners. 

I cut a strip of the pink wood grain paper for the bottom of the tag, to represent the boardwalk. 

Then I cut a piece of my favorite paper to cover the rest of the tag. 

All the edges were ink distressed with the Vintage Photo ink. 

I punched a hole in the top center, and inserted an extra-large eyelet. 

Through the eyelet I inserted a double loop of pale green seam binding from my stash. 

I adhered the doll to the tag using foam tape.

I stamped out the sentiment, included with the stamp set, 

and matted it with the pink woodgrain paper. 

I added the pretty green bow from the Ephemera pack. 

I adhered it to the tag with foam tape.

Finally, I added Diamond Stickles to the bows, the shoes, 

the headband and flower, and the ruffles.

Here's a closer look at the sparkly shoes:

Here you can see the lovely dimension and sparkle of the tag:

Here's one final look at the finished tag:
