From there I ended up selecting the Chalk Talk stamp set for the main image because the pattern on the little tag kind of works with the paper. This stamp set has matching die cuts which rocks because it makes cutting out the images so easy to do. I added a little dressed up brad as an accent. I completely thought these were in the new SU catalog, but they are not. They do, however, live in the piles of unused awesomeness in my stamp studio, so I was glad they saw the light of day on this card. Haha! All of the supplies I used are listed at the end of this post.
