Serendipity Sketch - May 2017

Here is this month's layout for Miyuchi's May Serendipity Sketch. This is my first time using text on a path in PSE...pretty cool.

OWH - Sketch #250

Happy Spring! I saw the idea for this card on Pinterest and thought it worked perfectly for the sketch. Stamping Ginger gets credit for the awesome idea and all the products used are from Stampin' Up! To see sketch #250 from Operation Write Home click here.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2014 (Mar)

Here in California we are getting our first major storm of 2014. So Tim's tag for March was perfect timing (i.e., we can't wait for Spring). I used Stampin Up's "Botanical Gazette" paper with the bird as the base for my tag and added feathers from the "Fine Feathers" set (both retired). I applied several colors of SU markers to the bird image and used the SU air spritzer with Tim's burlap stencil for the pattern at the top of the tag. The yarn and the ribbon are SU as well.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2013 (March)

The theme of this month's tag is Easter. I started by cutting the bunny and the grass with my Silhouette. I then covered the bunny with Stampin' Up's dazzling details, although you can't see the glitter coating in the photo. I placed the bunny on cardstock cut using a framelit from the Labels Collections. I distressed the seam binding ribbon and all the edges of the cardstock. I covered the background paper with a piece of vellum to mute the colors.  I  then finished off the tag by using sticker embellishments from the "In Full Bloom" Simply Scrappin' Kit and added a rub on sentiment.
