With this one, I did use water-based Distress Inks, using my hounds-tooth background stamp from Hero Arts. The same birthday die, and that cute little happy stamp and simple flower die from SSS. I added a little scalloped slip of vellum at the bottom with a few drops of glossy accents... Laura Bassen-esque, oui? =] I wish my camera skills were better here =/ Here you go TYI! Thanks for all the inspiration from the DT!!
I've forgotten to mention the Paper Smooches scalloped circle die I partial cut to shape the top of each of my tags - would you believe me if I told you I don't have one tag die? Go figure!
Great tag - I love the soft subtle flower!! So pleasing and awesomely done!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love this fabulous take on Laura's tag! Beautifully done, Michele!
ReplyDeleteLove it...awesome houndstooth.
ReplyDeleteOh Michele I LOVE the houndstooth, gorgeous tag. Thank you so much for sharing with us at Tag You're It!
ReplyDeleteLove that houndstooth and how your flowers go over the edge! Thanks so much for playing along at Tag You're It!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tag, Michele! You've nailed Laura's tag in perfect tribute. Great design, and I love your choice of houndstooth. Great tag! BTW...I'll admit this freely, as it's important that it's out there... I'm dyslexic. I examined your 'sympathy' card in detail, and it wasn't until I went back a few minutes ago to look at it again, that I saw that the word was "especially", my brain only saw "sympathy" and not until I read your post again, did my brain finally and actually 'see' the correct word! I so apologize for getting it wrong. It doesn't happen all that often, but it does happen, lol! I hope I didn't embarrass you...It's a beautiful card, nonetheless. Bev
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful take on Laura's tag, Michele ... those sweet flowers are just lovely! I have no tag dies either ... actually I have almost no dies at all ... two words and three sets to go with stamps ... need to shop! Anita :)
