This week over at PAPERTAKE WEEKLY we have the challenge of White + 1 Other Colour! I kept it simple for this theme by creating a clean & simple card. I mounted a piece of white cardstock onto the card blank this time just to add a little bit of depth, although it isn't really visable on this picture.

12 Tags of 2014 ... April!

Good Morning!
I managed to get this month's 12 TAGS OF 2014 tag done a lot earlier than the previous to make sure I didn't leave it until last minute again! I will admit to you all now though that I did cheat a little bit on the hand-made flowers part .. due to me being unable to get the desired die anywhere as it was sold out!
 I improved and used pre-made flowers. Shameful I know but it was the only way I could join in with the fun! 


I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:



INGREDIENTS -
Tim Holtz Trellis Framework Die
Tim Holtz Rub Ons & Mirrored Foil
Tim Holtz Tissue Tape, Idea-ology Thread & Idea-ology Embellishments
Seam Binding Ribbon, Twinklets Glitter & Dew Drops
Ranger Glossy Accents


INKS USED -
