Festive tag

I hope you all had a fun and safe 4th of July.

I had to work in the morning, but got to enjoy some fireworks in the evening. 

Today I am sharing with you my creation for the new challenge up at Anything but a Card

This month it's an open or anything goes theme... 

Welllll anything but a card that is!!!

So I am sharing my festive tag,

I used Tim Holtz's mini blueprint stamps, and some distress markers and inks.

I am just loving the way the inks move on the distress watercolor paper.

Honestly this tag was a breeze to create. 

The hardest part was that I glued on the wood veneers before I stitched, 

so I ended up having to stitch around the veneers!

At the last minute I pulled out my old Dymo and added the Brave tag.

I do hope you are having a festive weekend,

Either here or abroad I wish you all a wonderful weekend, and week ahead!

Sheri Crafts: 4th of July

12 tags of 2015: april

Well I'm late this month, but I'm finally getting this post live!

I had to wait for some of the supplies for this months tag, 

so I really didn't get to tag making until last week!

I have two tags to share,

The first is by far my favorite!

Not only do I love love love hydrangea's but i am loving this purple!

Here's a little different view,

And then I went completely the other way and a little overboard on the color

with lots of yellow and blue.  

I decided I liked the plain and simple a lot better!

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: CAS

a Get well soon card

I recently won some of Tim Holtz' new Bird Crazy stamps,

and I thought they would be perfect to cheer up someone that is sick. 

I stamped and then colored up my bird with some distress pens,

Ohh i just love the little flip of his feather (makes him look like an elvis bird!)

For the "Get Well Soon" sentiment I stamped in peacock feather distress ink, and then clear embossed over. 

Finally I finished the card off with some twine so the bird isn't just "floating in space"

He sorta looks like he's a bird on a wire. 

Thanks for stopping by and check out my work, 

you all mean so much to me.
