Happy Tag Flower

Another one for CAS-ual Fridays                 

And Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Tag It         

The flower was made with the oval tags die cut from the Tim Holtz Tiny Tags die.  Added a big brad through the tag holes and added a gray baker's twine bow.  The WPlus9 Happy Trio die was used for the sentiment with Gina K Slate cardstock then added some Wink of Stella for a little shimmer.  The chevron patterned paper is a freebie from Mel Stampz.  Added a couple strips of washi tape.  The card base is Gina K London Fog.

Thanks for taking a look!

Just Us Girls Challenge #230 - Sketch

Vicki has come up with a great sketch for us this week

I would like to WELCOME our Guest Designer for March:

Calypso!  

This is a real mix of dp scraps sitting on my desk.  The top strip is washi tape and the balloon is a new technique I tried called Air Smash that I saw on Splitcoaststampers Try a New Technique forum.  The sentiment stamps and the balloon die are from WPlus9.

This also works for the WPlus9 Birthday Celebration Week 4:  Stretch It

WPlus9 Challenge

Wplus9 has a comfort zone challenge to create a card in your own style using their stamps.

I would have to say that my comfort zone is either CAS or Clean and Graphic.  My comfort zone changes with my mood!

A stencil was used for the background, sponging ink in pastel shades of the rainbow.  I stamped the Fanciful Feathers by Wplus9 with Wplus9 white ink and heat embossed on pink and purple cardstock and die cut with one of their dies that coordinates with the Fanciful Feathers.  Stamped the sentiment from the same set and die cut with a pennant die and popped it up over the bottom of the feathers. 

Thanks for dropping in!
