Tag, you're it!

 

Hi friends!


Today I'm sharing a fun tag

with bright cheerful colors.

Our Instagram FANS of Simon Says Stamp

card group has a monthly theme of Anything Goes.

And I'm getting a head start on my tags!



I used Celestial Wishes from Simon Says Stamp, 

purchased for the dragonfly in the set :)

I did a base layer of ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks

from Ranger and heat embossing with white embossing powder

from Simon Says Stamp.

I love the vibrant colors and dimension!

Toe beans in the sand! IPC #252


 Hi friends!


We're back from vacay!

We had SO MUCH FUN +

it's hard to come back to reality after a week of bliss! :)




Speaking of serene beaches and blissful days,

here's Newton with the May IPC sketch for week 3.

You still have time to play along!



And here's the sketch!


I took a little creative liberty with this sketch ~

remember you can flip them, 
make them horizontal, etc!


I took the middle broad ban and dropped it to the bottom


Instead of the larger vertical rectangle, I used the 

Circle Frames die set and created a rising sun!

Finally, Newton is the final square and the banner is the row of shells.



I made this for my beautiful daughter 

who made our amazing trip happen!  

We have memories that will live on forever <3
