Antique German book page - used to make a simple tag.

Supplies:
Antique paper
Cardstock paper - acid free (light brown)
Tag punch, round punch (1/2") and a single hole punch (small).
Bakers twine (black)
Washi tape (black lace design)
Glue - or xyron machine

Use tag punch to punch identical shapes from antique paper and cardstock paper. Punch a round shape from the cardstock paper.
Glue the cardstock tag and small circle shape, or run it through your xyron machine to glue. (As your antique paper may be fragile, it's better to glue the cardstock.)
Carefully adhere the antique paper tag shape onto the glued cardstock. Smooth it down. Add the cardstock circle to the top of the tag, as shown in the photo. Punch a hole through the middle of this circle with your single, small hole punch.
Use twine or ribbon to finish off the tag. Cut a length, knotting the 2 ends together. Feed the bottom of the loop through the hole and pull the twine length back, through the bottom of the loop (see photo).
Cut washi tape the width of the tag, and adhere to the bottom are on the tag.

Sharing a technique from when I used to teach. 2-tone paper with rubber stamp. 2 contrasting pieces of paper (e.g. lime/black). Rubber stamp the middle of one (lime) with same color (black) as the other paper. Cut the lime paper in half to the top of the rubber stamp, but leave a small margin around the outside of the stamp shape to the bottom, then cut remaining paper in half. Glue the stamped paper on top of the other sheet. An easy 2-tone eye-catching effect for multiple use - tags, journals, embellishments, etc.

Comment on my post for this on Facebook to be in drawing for this book. It's flawed on covers to where I don't want to sell it. So I'll give it away. Comment by 9am PDT Monday, August 11th, to be in the draw. A great how-to book on folk art roses of all kinds.
