Tagging Special Hugs for You Friend

Here again with a tag card... for three challenges
Back to Basics and Beyond challenge #23 - Tic Tac Toe - I'm using the left column Pink, Tag, Twine.
AAA Cards CAS #135 - One Plus Three - Stamped sentiment, Die cut, Inked stencil pattern and one matted layer - also Optional Twist - Friend
Time Out challenge celebrating their 5 years with challenge #131 - Hugs, Kisses and a Lot of Birthday Wishes.... I focused on Hugs.
I sponged pink Distress Oxide through my stencil onto a die cut tag, used my small lettering set to stamp my sentiment and die cut the 'hugs' from silver glitter cardstock. To finish I matted the tag to a pink background, added twine and a gem.
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it.... happy card making.

 
  

Happy Birthday

Far too hot to be gardening today so I've been finishing off a few cards...
I cut down a large floral die cut and then collected the flower pieces and smooched them in Distress Inks and then replaced them.  I used the Loll's Splash Watercolour technique (here) to create my background, then gold embossed my sentiment before attaching my die cut flower to the corner.

I am playing along with challenges at AAA Cards CAS challenge #134 - One Corner, Back to Basics and Beyond challenge #21 - Paper Piecing, Stamplorations CAS Card challenge - using Optional Twist - Cerulean Blue and lastly Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies February challenge. Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it -- happy card making.
