Today we begin a new challenge over at Tag, You're It! and Donna is the creative designer to CASE! Before we begin, I want to say thank you for all the well wishes and prayers. My shoulder is healing nicely from the surgery, and I should be back blogging in full-swing soon.
Donna gives us beautiful inspiration from nature, and here is my card:
Here is Donna's wonderful creation, but you should check it out fully on her blog.
I love how Donna framed her sentiment, so I framed mine with the tag itself. My flowers imitate her wheat, and I added a butterfly in yellow, but wanted to capture the red from her butterflies with a bit of splatter.
The stamps are from PTI Flower Favorites, and Thank You Kindly, and the tag die is MFT Tag Builder Blue Prints 4. I used the MISTI to stamp Distress Inks to create the flowers. I used Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves, and Milled Lavender. The butterfly is Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade, and the splatters are Fired Brick. I created a bit of a wash around the flowers with Peeled Paint and Squeezed Lemonade. The water color paper is from Tim Holtz, and the cardstock is PTI. Baker's Twine is Recollections.
I hope you will join us over at Tag, You're It! this week. I would love to see how you are inspired!
Thanks for coming over to visit, I hope you're having a great day!

ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see that you were able to create this challenge Kara, I love your lavender beauties!
ReplyDeleteKara, this is incredibly gorgeous. I love the purple shades,a nd I can see how you did that with the MISTI. I am still trying to navigate mine. I know it can do much more for my art than I know at this point. I love the "hidden" tag and the splatters, and the border being red, and every single thing about it. Hope you are back in full swing soon, creating more beauties like this!!
ReplyDeleteKara this is simply stunning!!
