Tag You're it challenge 67

Hello and happy Sunday! I am featuring a tag I made for the Tag You're it Challenge #67.

Here is the inspiration tag:

This lovely tag inspired me to use a flourish on my tag. 

I was trying to replicate her color scheme. I used paper from Stampin Up from pack of paper I had. I am really happy with the colors, even if they aren't an exact match to the inspiration tag.

The tag die is from Simon Says Stamp, flourish and Butterfly dies are from Memory Box. Little word stamp is Hero Arts.

Thanks for visiting today.

Freshly Made Sketches #278

Hello! Today's card is for Freshly Made Sketches 278.

My card uses a stamp set from My Favorite Things.

I used die cuts from Memory Box and Lawn Fawn. Background paper is from Doodlebug Designs.
 I colored the image with colored pencils blended with Gamsol. I have been seeing a lot of posts with paper piecing. This stamp set is just perfect for that!

Tag You're it Challenge #53

Welcome to my sadly neglected blog! I have been away for a few weeks due to family commitments. Had a little time myself today so I thought I'd enter the Tag You're it Challenge. This weeks inspiration tag is so pretty! Here it is:

So many things to take as inspiration! 

Here is my tag:

I was inspired to make a double, long and skinny embossed tag. The embossing folder is from SU!, birds are a die from Paper Smooches, the tag die is from My Favorite Things - Fishtail Flags, the vine is a Memory Box die. Plaid paper is from Lawn Fawn. Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I think I used all my favorite companies on this one tag. lol

Thanks for visiting today. Hope you will leave a comment! See you next time!

Tag you're it challenge #45

Today's card is for Tag your it challenge #45! My inspiration from this sample tag are: wings and the colors!

I pulled out a Memory Box butterfly die cut I  have had for a long time! Perfect for what I had in mind!

To create this card I first cut a panel from watercolor paper using a silly stitched die cut from Lil Inker Designs. I then took some distress inks and splattered the panel until I got the color combo I wanted. I then cut the solid butterfly out of the same paper and added color with the same inks. Then I added ink to another piece and then cut the open butterfly from it.

 I cut the butterfly body from black paper and added glossy accents to the body. The tag is cut out of watercolor paper, using Simon Says Stamp dress up a tag die set. Of course pretty sequins for sparkle.

Here are the Distress colors I used:

And that's it! Remember to dream everyday! Great words to live by! Thanks for stopping!
See you next time!  - Barb
