Guest Designer at Tag YOU'RE It!

 Hello! Today, I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer at Tag YOU'RE It! Challenge.  I have only recently found this fun challenge and love their inspirations and making tags for their challenges.  This week's inspiration for Challenge #35 is by Tracey and is a great Christmas design.  I was inspired by her use of Pattern Papers and great die cuts.   I hope you will be inspired to play along and have a chance to be a Guest Designer.

For my tag, I decided to also focus on pattern papers (just love playing with patterns) and I stayed with a Christmas theme.  I chose pattern papers from Pebbles Welcome Christmas pad with similar colors and used a Impression Obsession Branch die, a Cuttlebug Ornament die,  and a Cheery Lynn Die for the word Merry.  I heat embossed some Pinecones using a GKD stamp and Zing Chestnut EP and fussy cut them after coloring with Copics.  I assembled all my elements together and added a bow of green twine to complete the tag.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday 149

Welcome. This is my third and final week as Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Guest Designer.  I have had so much fun and thanks to all the Design Team for being so friendly and having me as a part of their talented group.
This week  Beate is the hostess, and the challenge is to use the Telescoping Image technique. "Stamp your image two or three times (I did four) and cut it smaller every time for a layered look." Check here for a great tutorial by Beate. I have never used this technique but I always enjoy trying something new!

This card, using  one of my very favorite Flourishes Sets "Zinnias", is my thank you to the  Timeless Tuesday  DT.  I stamped the bouquet image four times on White Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black and then cut in graduating sizes with circle dies. I colored the image with Copics, Glaze Pens, and added Glossy Effects to the bowl. On the white card base, I layered an embossed mat and attached a Pink Doily.  I embellished with a double layer of ribbon and placed the telescoping image (assembled with dimensionals) on the card. I finished with a sentiment tag on a loop of ribbon and a bit of bling. I also did the inside simply with a  doily and sentiment. See photo lower left.
