Friends with Flair and Tag You're It...April 3, 2015

Hello Friends,

Today I am participating in two challenges:  Friends with Flair over on the Unity Stamp Co. blog and the Tag You're It Challenge.  I found out about the Tag You're It Challenge from Gaylynn (thanks, Gaylynn).  I have been participating in Friends with Flair for several years, but this is my first time playing at Tag You're It!  This card came to life from a couple of sources of inspiration:  (1) Shilo's mood board that she posted on the Unity Stamp Co. blog a couple of days ago and (2) the sketch at Tag You're It.  When I first saw the stamp set called, "Don't be like the rest of them..." over at Unity, last week, I knew I had to have it.  The flower and butterfly from this set are gorgeous.  I also love the sentiments in this kit.  I received this light blue tag as a free gift from Unity.  I stamped it all over in the script stamp from the March 2014 Layers of Life called spring inspired.  I adhered some Prima crystal swirls to the tag.  The flower was stamped on 110lb cardstock and I used my Derwent water color pencils.  I added wink of stella to the blue portion of the flower.  The sentiment was stamped in black ink and the heart was colored using a Faber Castell colored pencil.  The tag was finished with some seam binding ribbon and a butterfly stick pin.  The card base was embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder.  Thanks for visiting and have a Happy Easter, everyone!  Here is the sketch for tag you're it:
