Hello everyone!! I’m here today playing along with AAA Cards Challenge and the Muse Challenge #79.
I wanted to take this time to say Thank you so much to the ladies over at the Muse Challenge for choosing my card for Honorable Mention. I really appreciate it. If you missed the card you can find it here.
Now on to this week’s challenges. I had a lot of fun creating my project for these challenges.
Both of these challenges used Water-coloring, which happens to be my favorite. I decided to do something a little different then what your use to seeing.
I created a TAG!!! Yes, a tag and its not on a card. This was a bit of a challenge because my working area was smaller then a normal card size. I wasn’t sure if I needed to fill all of the space or should I leave some empty areas. It took me one hour to decided just on that. LOL!!!
Take a look at my TAG:
To create this tag:
I used a piece of watercolor paper and my Koi watercolors to create my background.
I cut my tag using Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 1 Dies.
I cut my thank sentiment using Simon Says Stamps Thanks Die out of Bazzill Marshmallow cardstock 4 times from some dimension.
I used my Stampin’ Up! Bitty Butterfly Punch and Elegant Butterfly punch to punch out four butterflies, 2 from my scrap watercolor piece and 2 from Bazzill Marshmallow cardstock.
I added My Mind’s Eye White Enamel Dots to the center of the butterfly for detail and more contrast.
I punched a hole in the top of my tag using Stampin’ Up! 1/8″ Circle Handheld Punch.
I added 2 pieces of retired Stampin’ Up! ribbon and tied it with Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Bakers Twine.
Thats all! Very easy and fun to do!! I hope you give it a try. I will be making more tags from now on.
