What began as a tag also ended up as a card! I was toying with ideas for an April Shower theme and decided to cut an umbrella on my Cameo using a Silhouette file. I cut all the pieces in white CS and used as patterns to cut layers in Yellow Vellum and Floral Pattern paper. I colored the handle and tip with Copics before assembling the umbrella. I thought using the vellum as the top layer gave a glossy look to the umbrella and I loved how the floral colors showed through. I cut the tag from Ivory CS and matted in Turquoise CS. The sentiment from Creative Vision What's Shaking? was stamped in Memento Teal Zeal. I filled the umbrella with flowers that I fussy cut from another coordinating pattern and added the bow of Seam Binding tape to a punched hole on the tag. I love using patterned papers.....they make a design come to life.
Playing with a challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches (below), I simply turned my tag into a card by using a panel of the same floral Pattern Paper as a layer that I embossed with Darice EF Flower Frenzy and attached it to a card base of the Turquoise CS. I also completed the inside with another pattern paper edged and stamped with Memento Potter's Clay ink using the verse that completed the verse on the front. Pattern Papers are from MME Collectable pad.
