Monochromatic Vintage

I used a portion of a stamp called Galerie Vernissage, by Inkadinkado - one of those background type stamps I bought several years ago, and just do not get around to using very much - though I still like it a lot.  I thought it fit with the vintage look.  DP is by Paper Studio.  Ink - Ranger Tea Dye distress.  I used a small Cuttlebug embossing folder, and did two passes through the Cuttlebug.  The "seam" is close to the tag, and I think really does not stand out too much. I wanted to be sure the words happy and birthday were both wholly displayed.  I used a Martha Stewart corner punch, with both black and beige cs which I layered to anchor the tag.  IRL the beige adds a bit of dimension and separation.   The narrow strip is a CB border that resembles stitching.  I used nesties for the circles.
