Happy Birthday

The burlap texture fades emboss folder from Tim Holtz was used for the background of this card. The colors were created with watercolor crayons and a waterbrush. Hearts in Touch Vinca flowers were inked and colored with Copic Markers. The stamp Happy Birthday from Hearts in Touch was inked on vellum. Vellum adhesive was used to apply to card front. Home cartridge from Cricut was used to make the motif.

Thanks Linda and Tim Holtz for all you have done to inspire me!

December 7th Tag

December the 7th!
I've enjoyed making each tag to share here on my blog!

I inked the music stamp on #8 manila tag with black ink and then sprayed it with perfect pearls. Set this aside to dry.
On trimmed manila, stamp Christmas Carols with archival black, immediately add clear embossing powder, pour off extra and heat set to glossy finish. Festive berries inked applicator was used to color piece. Sprinkle with water and heat dry.
Apply Christmas Carols to tag with glue n' seal. Use distress tool around outside of tag and then use inked applicator to color edges.
Ink trim with festive berries, wad up and heat set to dry. Add to top of tag, string gold bell with gold thread and then tie to trim.

Thanks for viewing my tag. Come back tomorrow!
