Today's focal is a simple one that started with a tag. This particular one came from a book by Paper Pizazz, but you can make your own tags as well. This card is a gate-fold card that started with a black and white striped base. The tag was emphasized by the multiple mats. A scalloped square was cut out of white paper with a Spellbinders die. This was put on the diagonal against a rectangle of burgundy corregated cardboard that was matted with black cardstock. This forms an overhanging piece for the gatefold card. The tag is then glued at a jaunty angle and finished off with a bit of black ribbon. Here is a scan showing the focal piece a bit better:
Pretty tags can be made ahead and kept on hand for those times when you need a card at the last minute.
