Tag You're It!

It's Tuesday and another new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches.  This week's sketch features a tag or other similar shape.
Here is the sketch posted:
I had quite a bit of fun with this sketch.  I knew basically what I wanted to do, but not exactly.  I had the stamps picked out just not colors.  And I also knew the flowers should be two toned.  So I started picking out color combos I liked and began stamping.  I used the framelits to cut out the flowers and leaves then played with the arrangement.  Sometimes it's fun to experiment and see where things take you.  Originally I thought I would use more flowers but as I started to lay things out I realized I didn't need as many as I had thought.
I had also die cut two tags in different colors using a die I've had forever from MFT.  So I ended up with two cards!  (This card could easily be made with a different shape tag or even a tag that was cut on a paper trimmer.)  And I still have enough flowers left for more cards.  I went a little wild with the stamping!  When I have extra of something I store it in the back of the stamp case or pocket so it's easy to find.  When I store extras elsewhere I usually forget I have them.

I hope you enjoyed this card today.  I have a list of some of the supplies with links to my Stampin' Up! website below.  If you order please use Hostess code 2BQK2KJZ - valid through February 20.  (If you order $150 of products-before tax and shipping-do not use the code so YOU get the hostess benefits.)

  3. You've created two lovely cards, Jeanne! I really like how you've used dry embossing for the stripes element of the sketch.
