This weeks challenge is Baking, anything to do with it at all. I chose three blueberry muffins, as I had just bought some stamps. I painted the cardstock tag with gesso and attached a single layer of a pretty paper napkin while the gesso was still wet. I covered the back of the tag again with gesso and used this to attach the two white sheets that I had separated from the napkin. I tore the edges of the front napkin to fit the tag exactly and the back white sheets a little bigger so that they showed from the front like a torn edge. I stamped the three muffins twice each and cut them out. I cut the the top section of each one and attached it to the complete duplicate cutout. This gave a raised area where the muffin shows from the case. Some raised dots attach each muffin to the tag, though you can't see this from my picture. I used glossy accents to highlight the blueberry muffins and the flowers on the background. I made the blueberries with blobs of dark blue stickles. Some white and lilac ribbon threaded through an eyelet finish the tag at the top.
Thanks for popping by my blog.

I saw your tag over on 'Tag Tuesday' and popped over to visit your blog. Your tag is great and I found your comments on using gesso as glue very interesting I will have to give that a try.
Thanks for posting these details. I hadn't realized the edging was showing from the back-- great idea and effect!
Your tag is so yummy, Paula!:-)
