    Stamps: Butterflies (Vickie Enkoff); Computer designed butterfly collage

    I didn't have a velum tag this size, so I cut a piece of vellum, rounded the corners, and drew around the edges with an embossing pen. I silver embossed, then punched the hole. This also works well by cutting the tag shape from vellum and outlining the edges with a silver leafing pen. This way, you can have tags any size you want.
