Mother's day card

My mom and I are big Cincinnati Reds fans so for Mother's day I surprised her with tickets to a Red's game and made a card to go with them. I went searching on the internet for a Reds image came across the one with "C". I then took the image and formated it in SureCutsALot so I could use my Cricut to cut it out with. I couldn't find the right shade of red dot paper and then I remembered the Merriment paper stack from Tim Holtz had one in it and it worked out perfectly. I really love how it turned out and so did my mom. I also used the Sizzix scallop circle die and baseball paper from Paperstudio (Hobby Lobby)

I am happy with how this tag turned out. I didn't have the Photobooth images, the tiny tattered florals die, or the small talk stickers so I dug into my stash and used what I had. I went rummaging through some of my grandma's old photographs and found the perfect image. I used 3 different colors of distress markers to color the photo with. For the flowers I used the Tattered Flower Garland die from Tim Holtz and stacked some of the flowers together to make them 3-d. I also didn't have the ephemera pack so I just cut images out of some of Tim's paper stacks.

12 Tags of 2015- March







I tried using the colors Tim used on his tag this month but my mixing didn't turn out so well so I decided to try again using some different colors. For this tag I used the following distress paint colors: iced spruce, evergreen bough, bundled sage, pumice stone, tumbled glass and cracked pistachio (which I love.) I am happy with how this tag turned out I think the colors blended together perfectly.
