MFT February Creative Construction with Blueprints–Tags to Fall in Love With

CCwBP_2017jan31


Tags provide the perfect little canvas for expressing your love in miniature form. Use them as delightful little cards, package accents, or decor - every one of your Valentines will be enamored by your creations. This month, we’ve challenged our team to inspire you with tags created with our extensive collection of Blueprints.

What a fun challenge this month! I made two tags, each very different from the other. For the first I did a watercolor wash background with Peerless Watercolors on Ranger Watercolor paper, stamped the images from BB Otterly Love You with Black Licorice hybrid ink, cut them out with BB Otterly Love You Die-namics, and colored them with Copic markers before creating my little scene.

The other is using Mailbox Die-namics on Stitched Traditional Tag STAX Die-namics with Love is in the Mail stamp set and elements from Tag Builder Blueprints 1 Die-namics and Tag Builder Blueprints 6 Die-namics.

They were both tons of fun to create—I hope I gave you some ideas for some Tags to Fall In Love With.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! See you soon!

Let’s Go Nuts!–C4C #370

C4C370_2017jan28


Hello and thanks for joining me for the last Crazy 4 Challenges of January. January 21st was squirrel appreciation Day! Show your love for these furry critters, if you don’t have a squirrel use any one of your favorite furries.

Well, I’m doing this challenge under duress, LOL! I do NOT appreciate squirrels AT ALL—they empty my bird feeders, they dig up my garden and plant bird seed, which come up as weeds, so, no, I do NOT appreciate them. But since I had a squirrel image I thought I should use it ;-)

My images are from Forest Friends with coordinating Forest Friends Die-namics and were stamped on X-press It Blending Card with Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored with Copic markers. All other products are linked below.

And that's it! Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you!

THEN, you know what to do--we'd love to have you come along and play with us. Just do your thing with the challenge and link it to Mr. Linky on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Please link directly to your project. And, if you upload to a public gallery, please use the key word C4C370.

Thanks for stopping by today—see you soon!
