Inspired by April Showers

This week's Inspired by Challenge 233 is April Showers. Here's the challenge graphic.

 

 

 

And here's my take on it, loosely based on a flipped sketch.

 

Of course I had to incorporate umbrellas somehow. I DIY'd a cloud template and

used Lost Shadow Distress Oxide ink for the cloudy background. Three umbrellas 

were inked and spattered with water, then adhered to the card.

 

I chose a sentiment from Hero Arts/Reverse Confetti, added some clear raindrops

and rounded off a corner as a finishing touch.

Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas 2021

 

 

 I'm joining Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas 2021 and even made multiples (gasp!)

of a tag for Day 11 with the carol "O Christmas Tree".

I was inspired by Carissa Wiley's tag and colored my tree in ombré colors of peach.

I used an older, discontinued Geo Tree die for the first time and a sentiment from

another discontinued set, Home and Hearth. 

The gold branch? I wanted to ground the tree and found some branches so I colored them

with gold watercolors and adhered them to the base of the tree. A bit of twine finished off

the tags. 

I'm off to enter these. Thanks so much for stopping by!

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 -- Day 2

 This is Tracey's 10th year of organizing her popular 25 Days of Christmas Tags

and I always try to make time to participate because I love making tags. 

 

The sponsor for Day 2 is Simon Says Stamp and I had some Lil' Gnomes

that were leftover from last year's release so I put them to use. I was inspired

by Simon's Wednesday Challenge blog DT member Lin who happened to use

the Lil' Gnome on her adorable tag. And I have not one, but three tags to share.

All three tags were basically constructed the same way. A bit of greenery and 

sentiments from Simon Says Stamp and Papertrey Ink.

 

Love these gnomes and I'm glad that I had a chance to use them again!

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS(E) this Sketch 121

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 121 brought to you by our teammie Sam.

 And here's my simplified take on the sketch.

I white embossed a new quote from Reverse Confetti on watercolor cardstock

then "smooshed" three Distress inks over it and trimmed it to a tag shape.

I adhered it to the kraft card base and added a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins

and some faux stitching with a white pigment pen.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how my teammates interpreted the sketch

and join us if you can. Link up your project(s) by Thursday, May 7th.

Hope to see you in the gallery!
