This little bird is just the cutest! I loved coloring him. This is an odd color combo for me, blue and purple, but I think the printed paper brought it all together. I also did some sewing to add a little texture to the layers.
Here's the Details:

Sentiment - came with digi stamp
Papers - Bo Bunny grape dot and a scrap from my basket
Extras - twine, tag punch, SU Framelits - Floral Frames, CM circle cutter

These are a couple tags I made for a swap...The theme was vintage floral. I wanted a shabby type collage effect.
I used kraft paper to make the base tag. I added a doily that I inked with Tim Holtz Walnut distress ink. I used my dress form dies from Stampin' Up to cut the dress shape from some Basic Grey floral scraps. I added a paper swirl, a metal brad, a paper flower (from another swap) and a Stampin' Up ivory button tied with some twine. For the top I used glittered ivory tulle and brown satin ribbon. Wasn't too sure about this one, but now that it is done...I like it!

So this was for a swap. I have never done an altered Altoid tin, so...I had no plan when I sat down. The theme was "Flights of Fantasy". While the end result doesn't have a lot of 'fantasy' going on, it has 'flight' covered.
I dumped out my embellishment jar and pulled things I liked...the butterfly, "happy" tile, and the quote on the inside. I then pulled some scrap papers. I decided it needed an accent color so I used purple, favorite of the recipient. I had this window tin in my stash and decided to use it instead of the used Altoid tin I had originally planned on. I liked the idea of the window. Then I got my glue and went to work. I love when there is no plan...just free creating. I am happy with the end result. What do you think?
Happy Monday!

So, this is the sketch that I used for my FB group challenge this month. It is from Quintessentially Me, she has some great sketches. I decided to make a "scrappy" card...only use scraps. So, the two images are from a treat basket I received and I saved the images once the treats were gone...they are so cute and have the fun spirelli detail. the papers are from my scrap basket. The sentiment is what is left of a sticker packet. The flowers, which I did add two extra because I couldn't bear to through the odd ones out, are leftovers from another project.
Thanks for looking!
