Bits and Pieces

The freebies for today are not full page templates, but they could make your scrapping life a little easier especially when you would like a matching tag or flower, but the designer didn't make one.
First here's the stacked flower template. I made a button center, but I would recommend deleting it and using a button from your own stash; it's not the most realistic digital button I've ever seen. :) The flowers do need a little work to look less flat. Using the dodge tool with a soft brush with opacity around 25, lighten the centers of the petals. Then, use the burn tool at the same settings to darken the edges. You could also experiment with it the other way around, which would make the petals look bent in. Then, don't forget to put a drop shadow under each layer to make it even more realistic.

Next is my tag template. It includes both a two paper with ribbon tag (as shown in the preview) and a plain tag. Sorry the string doesn't have a knot in it; I couldn't make it look right. So, I would recommend putting a staple or other fastener at the place where the two ends meet. :)

Hope you like these templates! Thank you for all your kind comments.
