Here's the tag that Ms Marivic sent me. It's gorgeous!!! I was inspired by Agnieszka Bellaidea .
 I had so much fun designing around these colors with my 7Dots Studio papers -Wonderland.

I love the colors on this tag!

Here are a few closeups:

I used some Vintage Trinkets from Prima. My friend Cathi O'Neill sent me some pretty flowers. I colored one of the white ones with Lindy Stamp Gang -Industrial Chic - Steel Shimmerz

In the above photo I used my Stencil Girl Butterfly Stencil newly designed by Maria McGuire. I used my ShimmerZ -TextureZ in Gritty Graphite. 

I loved the expression of the woman in the photo (found on Flickr - not mine) reminded me of the cameo.

In this picture you can see the tag again and Gina's Design's Chipboard that I heat embossed. 

Here's the finished layout:

I love the vintage direction I was able to go with these papers and that awesome tag! Thank you Marivic for such an inspirational tag!

Paper Temptress ~ Tag

Here is a Design Team project for Paper Temptress. I thought I might do a bright cheerful tag.
On this tag I was able to use lots of Paper Temptress products such as the ribbon, vellum, cardstock, flowers and the overlay.

Pretty Paper Temptress Ribbon with some Prima parts

shimmery Cryogen White #89 cardstock

Overlay on top of more awesome PT cardstock

I used 3rd Eye Stamps for the honeycomb background and the roses are from 3rd Eye.
I stamped the flowers using my Prima stamp and a little piece from Gina's Chipboard.
Have you taken advantage of the Paper Temptress 4th of July Sale? There's still time!!

Thank you for looking.

Mojo Monday

I'm trying new challenges.
Over at The Flying Unicorn they have Mojo Monday's.
I decided to do this cute pic of my coworker's nephew Carver. It's a joy to watch this little one grow up.

I used my Cameo to make the 2 Flourishes using my Paper Temptress "Lustre" collection of papers. There is also some Gina's Designs Chippie. I used my 3rd Eye Brick Wall stamp again and tucked in some Braid's as leaves.  Also the white vellum is from Paper Temptress as well. The background paper is from Heartfelt Creation's Timeless Amour Collection.  Here are a few closeups.

Zva Crystals I got from Scraputante's store. The flourish and  Vellum are from PAPER TEMPTRESS.

Renea's gorgeous butterflies

The Vellum peeking out under the butterfly is from Paper Temptress as well as the flourish.
