ATC

This ATC was completed for a challenge over at PaperArtistsOnline. If you have a chance stop in and visit them.

All cardstock is Stampin' Up! Base layer is Tangerine Tango which is one of the current In Colors. I will be so sorry to see these great In Colors leave but can't wait to see what will take there place. For the next layer I used Whisper White and my Kaleidacolor Cappuccino Delight which is retired from Stampin' Up! I just sponged the background. I really like the way the background came out. I needed some bling so I added 3 layers of Prisma flowers, topped with Crystal Stickles. The center of the little flower actually has some Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds to finish it off. Fabulous Friend is from the new set in the Oval AllStampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog that is now available for purchase. I also used the new Scallop Oval Punch also in the same mini. I sponged the edge, colored in the little flowers, added Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds. I hope my swap friends will like it.

Happy Easter to all

We are heading out of town today and going up to Maryland until Saturday morning. We then head to Pennsylvania and will be visiting with our precious granddaughter who we have not seen since Christmas. She is now almost 6 months old and has changed a great deal. I can't wait for hugs and kisses!

From the garden

I haven't had time to do any crafting so I thought I would show you a couple of the flowers that are blooming now in my yard. I have a big bouquet of them in my front room and the fragrance is wonderful. I also have a couple of huge tick bites. Be careful if you are working in your gardens.

Tag You're It!!!

It is Birthday time at Tag You're It and this is the tag I did for them. Background is acrylic paints done in a swirl and then used a retired Stampin' Up! Birthday greeting stamped in Pink Passion ink and punched out with the Stampin' Up! Scallop Circle punch and mounted in the center of my flower with dimensionals. The flower was then mounted on the tag using double layers of dimensions so it would stand out. On top of the birthday greeting I used a CTMH Window Charm. Then the to you was cut out on the Cricut mounted on the tag then covered with Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds. Double Grosgrain ribbons were placed at the bottom and I used the Martha leaf punch for some of the leaves the large leaves were cut free hand.

TJ Chalk Lines

I like the way this turned out for me. I used Stampin' Up! cardstock, chalks, markers, ribbon and the saying. The Morning Glory stamp is from Rare Image Rubber Stamps and I love this set. I've had it for some time but didn't have time to play with it. I also add some glitter to the flowers.
