Tiny Tag with Gift Container

I needed a small container for a little tag I made for a co-worker, Laura.  She taught me how to use Ranger Alcohol Inks on slick surfaces. So, I created this little tag for her as I was playing with all the new techniques she taught me.  I just loved how blending the blues turned out.  I have a 6 X 6 sheet of it now and fear using it, its so pretty.Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks, Punched Flowers, Tag with Flowers, Clear Cardstock, Carla's Scraps (2)

I remembered the little goodie containers I'd made for Paige last year and I thought it would be a perfect package for the tag.  Here's the container I made for the tag…Memory Box Vivienne Butterfly Die, Memory Box Darla Butterfly Die, American Crafts Dear Lizzie, Neopolitan Papers, Small Decorated Container, Carla's Scraps (2)

I love tiny things (you should see my Pinterest board) and so I doubly love the way this turned out. The swirly blue from the alcohol technique is GORGEOUS! All of it gorgeous!

Oh my gosh Carla, both of these are so sweet. I love your tag and would love to know how to do it (how about a tutorial)? But the container is FABULOUS, the butterfly is simply stunning.
I'm sure your co-worker will be so impressed with your talents. Great job!
