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

Con "grad" ulations

I wanted to make a card for my niece's graduation, and since her school colors were red and she wore a bright blue dress under her graduation gown I figured this was a perfect chance to use these colors! 

I'm so proud of all her accomplishments... and barely 17 years old too!!! 

I can't wait to send her this little beauty!

And a close up where you can see all the dots I added to her dress, and on the gear wheels too!  

On the bottom I added a little sentiment using my dymo label writer

Finally I added a strip of ribbon, twine, and a little flower with a jewel brad in the middle to round out this fun card! 

The digital image is from the very talented Krista Smith at Saturated Canary... check out her shop here!
Her digi's are truly amazing!
