Guest Designer Over at Tag You're It! Challenge

It is my privilege and pleasure to be guest designing at Tag You're It! for challenge #18. Our inspiration comes from none other than Nancy Penir!  Nancy is an amazing card artist with a style I admire!  She's all into the details.  As I studied her card, I saw the double ribbon, the music, embossing, button...so much inspiration!
I kept the pink, green and white from her color scheme, copied her double ribbon, the script font "Joy", and the kraft tag complete with music notes on the bottom edge.  I also replicated the shape of her petals and made one flower larger than the others to add interest.
The leafy swirl was cut from PTI Simply Chartreuse and is a combination of three cut files from Silhouette: Holly Flourish, Holly, 8 Fall Leaves.  The tags were cut from white and kraft with the Silhouette cut file "3 Tags".  The flowers were cut on the Silhouette with the cut file "5-Petal Flowers".  They were then stamped using the W+9 Fresh Cut Florals stamp set in PTI Hibiscus Burst and Raspberry Fizz.  The music is a background stamp from Glitz it Now.  It was heat embossed in white.  The word "JOY" was cut on the Silhouette in a font called Exmouth.  The plaid ribbon was in the dollar section at Target and the white ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.  The pink background paper is The Paper Studio's Khole Lane , and the card base is Hobby Lobby.  The tags were distressed at the ends a bit with DI Brushed Corduroy.

Please check out the design team's incredible inspiration, and I hope you have a chance to join in the fun over at Tag You're It! for challenge #18.  You'll also want to visit Nancy Penir's delightful blog, you won't be disappointed!

I would also like to participate in Darnell's NBUS Challenge #4 with my debut of NBUS stamp set W+9 Fresh Cut Flowers.

Thanks for coming over to visit!  I hope you have a wonderful day!
