It's All Perspective

For my GIVEAWAY, click HERE!!

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! I was able to spend a very happy Father's Day with my amazing Dad :) I even had a chance to sneak into my craft room and play along with Tim's June 2014 Tag Challenge!! I really enjoy playing along with the challenges when I can. I have been lucky enough to have won twice, including last month :)

For this tag, I pretty much followed Tim's instructions HERE. I used his Schoolhouse stencil for the watercolor background. The edges were inked with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. It's All Perspective is from Tim's Good Thoughts stamp set. The other two sentiments are TH's Idea-Ology Remnant Rub-On's Words. The butterflies are from Tim's Papillion stamp set. I fussy cut the butterflies and colored them with Distress Inks and a waterbrush. I was so bummed to walk into my Hobby Lobby last week and find the new French Flight Framelits with the butterfly dies like Tim used for his tag. I bought them, but decided to still use my fussy cut ones.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Tim's 12 Tags of 2014 - June
2. Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Anything Goes
3. DL.Art - June Linky
4. Little Scrap Pieces - Show Off Saturday
5. Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great week :)

Craft It Up & Link It Up - Red, White or Pink

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! Darn Punxsutawney Phil for seeing his shadow...six more weeks of this horrible winter weather :/

It's time for another fun challenge at Craftin Desert Divas. Our theme this week is Red, White or Pink. Our sponsors are:KaDoodle Bug Designs with $15 gift certificate and CardzTv with a stamp set.

For my card, I used papers from My Mind's Eye. The edges were distressed with a Zutter Distress-It-All.

The frame is a Tim Holtz Ornate Frame die. It was cut four times in heavyweight cardstock from Canvas Corp., and the layers were adhered together. The burlap ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. The crinkle ribbon is from TH's Idea-ology line.

The letters in love were cut from a TH Block Talk die. They were cut twice and then offset for a shadow effect.

The flowers are Spellbinders D-Lites Blooms One. I can't remember where the frosted gems in the center came from.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Love Notes
2. Every Day is an Occasion - February Linky

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Craftin Desert Divas to see the amazing projects my talented design team sisters have created for today's challenge, then Craft It Up & Link It Up!! I can't wait to see what you create :)
