Flower Tag

I made this tag for Practical Scrappers Flower Challenge. I didn't have time to post it in time for the deadline, cut I still wanted to show it.
I cut the tag from the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cartridge. I cut it twice for a little extra stability. I also add the back layer to my tags after all of the inking, edging, & decorating is done for a cleaner look on the back of the tag. I used a stamp set (Love) that I picked up at Wal-Mart & stamped it with acrylic paint, the same paint that I used to edge the tag. I used another stamp set for the flowered background & stamped it with distress ink. I built the flower with bridal flower petals, painted them w/ acrylic paint & homemade glimmer mist. Then I added other misc. flower pieces that I also used homemade glimmer mist on. I made a hat pin & added that to the flower. Added fiber & ta da!!

Christmas Gifts - Wall Letters

Well, I am playing catch up from Christmas. Here are the wall letters that I made for my nieces. They would also make great presents for any occasion too.
I used the white wooden letters from Michael's. I painted and decorated them for each of the girl's personalities.

Brooklyne is 11 years old and her favorite colors are green & purple. (This is the niece that I made the get well bouquet for earlier.) I used CDS for her name & "beautiful". I made my own printed paper with a stamp them cut out the words. I hear embossed the Angel Face. I used misc. buttons & prima flowers. I put purple & green ribbon on the outside edge. I sealed the entire letter after being decorated with a spray (Preserve It) sealer.

Jensen is my bright eyed 7 year old niece. Her room is decorated in bright colors, so what little girl doesn't like bright pink? I found the perfect ribbon (M's dollar bin) to incorporate all of the colors into this letter. I used CDS to cut her name & the word "joyful". I heat embossed her name & the princess crown. I used misc. buttons, prima flowers with a skittle in the middle. Sealed the same as the letter above.

Maddie is 11 too. She is the quiet one in the bunch. I used CDS to cut out her name & make sure the purple scallop would fit. I ciated her name with irridescent glitter glue. I used misc. buttons, lots of prima flowers * cricut cut flowers. I put brads in the middle of all of the flowers to hold them all together. I also heat embossed the "pretty as a picture". Seales the same as above.
