It's a tag with a secret recipe hidden inside and i used a Mo Manning stamp called ' What's Cooking ' and i coloured her with promarkers. I also used some gorgeous pergamano star patterned paper to cover the tag and slightly conceal the recipe. Other items used to create the tag were my Martha Stewart fan edge punch which i coloured the edges of with a promarker, eyelets, ribbon, flower and chipboard sentiment from my stash.
