Accented Blooms highlight the tag area in this new stamp set of the same name and they are the feature of today’s free tutorial. Whether you’d like to stamp the image in a single color or if you’re a coloring enthusiast, you’ll find this beautiful stamp set a must have. Best of all, the tag images fit in the Tailored Tag Punch which was carried over from the Occasions Catalog. I’ve included written instructions for today’s card below. I also have a free PDF tutorial available for those that would like to download and save this project for a later day.
