Quilled Flower Tag

Hello and welcome!! Today, I was playing with my quilling tools and made a couple of flowers.
So I decided to use one of those quilled flowers to create my tag for Tag You're It Challenge #54.
This time, the inspiration tag was made by Michelle Short and it feature a nice flower and a blue background.

For my tag ... I die cut my tag from watercolor cardstock. Then stamped the stem and leaves using Archival Ink, and colored the leaves using my new Wink of Stella glitter pens.

After tat, I masked the leaves and sponged the blue background using Distress Ink, and sprinkled some water to give more texture to my background.

Finally, I glued my quilled flower and sentiment.

Here's the final result...

Birthday Confetti!

Hello friends!! I hope you all are doing great :)
Today I'm so excited to share a colorful birthday card. I made this card using die cuts and patterned paper.

First, I cut a panel from pink patterned paper and then, die cut just the bottom part of the word 'birthday', and then glued the panel to my white base.

After that, I die cut (3 times) the word 'birthday' from chevron patterned paper and glued them together to give extra dimension. Repeated this process with the word 'happy'.

To embellished my card, I die cut different shapes of confetti from colorful cardstock to match the chevron patterned paper. As a final touch I added some sparkle to the word 'happy' and confetti.

 Here's my card...

Tag You're It #53

Hello!! Today I'm sharing a tag I made inspired by Tag You're It #53. The inspiration for this challenge it's a beautiful double tag with an embossed dotted background and the focal image is an arrange of  flowers.

So, for my project...  I die cut two tags, one from white cardstock and another one from teal cardstock. I embossed the white tag using a dotted embossing folder.
After that, I stamped and die cut my flowers using a beautiful orchid stamp set and dies from Hero Arts. I stamped the orchid using two tones of teal. Then, I added some Wink of Stella to my flowers and leaves. Finally, I tie both tags with my favorite color of baker's twine.

Here's my tag...



Here's a close-up so you can see the dotted background and the sparkle in the flowers.
