Embrace Life

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing with a card that I created which follows a sketch from The Sweet Stop and also the April Mood Board from Maja Designs.

I really love all of the papers from Maja Designs. They are vintage, beautiful and oh so gorgeous! I was so fortunate to have found a stockist in Australia as it can be difficult to source OS paper lines. I have wanted to create a tag, and when I saw The Sweet Stop sketch I thought that this is so perfect for me.

I have papers from the Vintage Summer Basics collection. I played around with them and used some scraps from other projects as well (nothing goes to waste!)

I wanted the tag to be the focus of the card.


I used the Tim Holtz mini bird cage die and some scraps to create the centre image. I inked the bird to give it some dimension. I used foam tape to apply it to the tag to make it pop. I used some cheese cloth to add some softness as well.

Here are some other close ups...

Supplies:

Paper: Maja Designs Vintage Summer Basics 1914, 1932, 1922, 1916, Stampin' Up! crumb cake and very vanilla cardstock

Stamp: Stampin' Up! Embrace Life

Ink: Colorbox Chestnut Roan

Other: Tim Holtz mini bird and cage set, Stampin' Up! antique brads, Cheery Lynn small exotic butterfly, lace, seam binding, doily, Hooked on Craft flowers and leaves, cheese cloth, BoBunny frosting jewels, Distrezz It All.

Thanks for stopping by!
