For this challenge, Erin is taking us outdoors on a camping trip! I would love to visit Erin at her campground in California some day. Meanwhile, I CASEd the nature of her tag with trees and clouds, and made a masculine birthday card:
Here's Erin's wonderful tag:
I began with some Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and smooshed PTI Tropical Teal, Blueberry Sky, and Limeade Ice. The watercolor paper was then cut into a tag. I die cut Poppystamps Evergreen Trees from four shades of green cardstock scraps and distressed them with DI Gathered Twigs. The trees were arranged and adhered with glue at the bottom. The clouds and birthday die and stamp are from PTI. One cloud was popped up on foam. The ribbon was a buy from the Target $1 bins a long time ago. The background paper is from Momenta.
I hope you will play along with us over at Tag, You're It. I love seeing how everyone interprets the tags, and this whimsical tag from Erin is fantastic!
Thanks for coming over to visit. Indoors or out, I hope you're having a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteI love your tag, the different colors and layers of trees give great dimension to go with the beautiful background!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Awesome tag!! I love the background and the placement of the trees and sentiment is perfect!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteFab nature card - the background is simply gorgeous together with all the different shades of trees!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to visit her too! You've really captured the outside in this gorgeous tag!
ReplyDeleteLove the watercolor background!!! And you should totally come camping in California at the Inn Town Campground, we can do a crafty get together (or you could join my month class?). And my husband did the exact same thing with the Christmas gifts, but he wrapped them himself. He said, "Well I know you hate shopping and I really wanted something to open on Christmas, so I just bought myself the gifts." I cried, thinking I was a terrible wife. Life goes on.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back from your break! Your big tag is amazing, perfect colours for a masculine card and the subtle watercolour background works so well, I'd love to go camping too, but for me now sadly it's off to work today, but I did just spend the morning at the beach, so things aren't really too bad here lol.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see you posting again... Missed you! Your tag is fabulous!! I love the water colouring! My DH would have been happy to just have the box ... he never knows what to get so this year I got the money and bought some Copics!
ReplyDeleteOh Kara Lynne! This tag is gorgeous. Love the way you took the trees as the main part of your tag. Your sky is fantastic and this little clouds are wonderful. The ribbon works beautifully, and the little tag on tag is the perfect finish. LOVE it!
