First off, a tag to a friend.
Moxie Fab has a challenge right now for several different themes. I wanted to go with the "girlfriend" theme celebrating National Girlfriends Day, Celebrating Relationships. I created a tag. Tags are something I don't often work with. For some reason I feel "tag" challenged but I don't know why since the format is smaller and that should be easier. The tag shape is cut with chipboard and the Art Philosophy Close to My Heart Cricut cartridge. I decided to emboss that with a Sizzix embossing folder with a woodgrain design. I highlighted the woodgrain print by rubbing it with a brown Distress stamp pad.
The circle with the butterfly cut out is a tag from the same Cricut cartridge. I cut this again a little smaller so I had a smaller butterfly to place in the cut out butterfly shape. The zig zag circle piece behind this is also cut with the same cartridge. The sentiment is a portion of a stamp by Printworks.
Next up, my Card Positioning Systems card for this week.
Want2Scrap is the sponsor this week. If you like BLING, you will like this company a whole lot. I turned the sketch on it's side.
The patterned papers are brand new from BasicGrey. The flower is cut out of one of the prints. With the Want2Scrap pink rhinestones, I cut two circles of rhinestones in half and them used the halfs to fit the sketch.
Now for a few photos...
Both photos are taken with my Hipstamatic phone app. I so love playing with that. We stopped at a beach on a recent trip and I wanted to get a few photos.
