Today I am sharing a tag pop up card that I created. The image is colored with copics. The sides of the tag are distressed and antiqued with Tim Holtz Antique Linen. I created this card to have a more masculine feel.

Paper: Prima Printerie, Black CS
Accessories: Stampin up Large Oval and Scalloped oval punch (for "relax" sentiment), 1 3/8 circle punch from Stampin Up, shells, Black hemp, raffia, Tim Holtz Antique Linen, copics
My second creation is one I made for this past week's "No Designer Paper" Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light challenge using Dream (also from this month's new release).
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- Dream
Embossing Folder: Stampin Up-Textured Impressions Framed Tulips
Dies:
Spellbinders Dies: Persian Accents, Fleur De Lis Squares, Bitty Blossoms, Classic Squares
Punches: Martha Stewart Twig Punch
Lace Ribbon: May Arts
Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope you are somehow inspired by my creations!! For more inspiration, the next stop on the hop is the exceptionally talented Grace.
Have a blessed Day!!!
