VLV, Tag You're It & SSS {You Make Me Happy}

Spring Break has been wonderful but it has zoomed along...as it always does! Tonight I managed to get crafty. My inspiration came from the project over at Tag You're It. I absolutely loved the neutral colours with the pops of red! I was thinking about using butterflies but then I remembered the Rain or Shine Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.  I have a great rain stamp set from Verve and I remembered their Viva la Verve CAS sketch for this week! So I switched out the circle for a tag and I was on my way! 

I stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card to mimic the "wheat" on the inspiration tag and to also make the sketch requirements.

I hope you can see how I was inspired. I added the twine for some texture and also to match the twine in the Tag inspiration.

Tag, You're It {Thanks a Bunch -Verve}

Happy Saturday! I decided to jump into my craftroom last night and I really tidied it up! Although it is FAR from being done, it is much tidier than before and I was inspired to get crafty! I have to admit, that has not happened for me for SUCH a long time. I have been a miserable crafter...held back by my deeply cluttered craft space! I have also stepped down from a couple of design teams. It was a difficult decision to make but I couldn't keep up. So I have vowed to make this year about getting back to the basics and crafting for fun when I want to craft! I must admit, it feels good!

One challenge that I always check out but never have time to play is the Tag, You're It Challenge. I love making tags and found this week's inspiration so pretty! I immediately thought of a new Verve stamp set I just purchased called Bloom & Grow.

 

I was inspired by the colours and added some aqua accents with a couple of enamel dots for the centers of the flowers. I kept my tag clean and simple. 

CASE this Sketch & Tag You're It!

Time for another challenge at CASE this Sketch! So excited that we are teaming up with Jackie's new challenge called Tag You're It! This challenge is all about creating a tag or a tag for your card using the sketch! This challenge will be a 2 week challenge so there is lots of time to play along!

I got out my trusty Verve stamps and went to work creating three matching tags for my stash! I love to have tags on hand for all sorts of reasons...but the main reason is for dressing up a wine bottle or a gift of some sort.

Once again, I tried a new technique with colouring the flowers...in fact, I did a "flicking" technique that is quick and easy to use. I had so much fun colouring this blooms and using the sentiments from Great Friend and Hope Blooms. I took a single shot of each tag...so you could see them up close. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you will join us at CASE this Sketch and Tag You're It!!
