Hello, everyone!
Sandi here with you today sharing a sweet card and tag set created with products from the new In Bloom and Under the Stars collections as well as some faithful oldies.
For the card front, I've used strips of 2 different papers (
Magnolia and
Bees and Blossoms) from In Bloom collection and used both side A and B to create 4 patterns. This is a great way to create cards from your scraps although truthfully, I used my new 12x12 sheets because my card is 6.5 inches long. And just because I wanted to play!
I am really enjoying the new ephemera packs and selected some gorgeous pieces from the
In Bloom set for the card and from
Under the Stars for the tag. The little Bees are elevated with foam squares. For a little additional texture, I added some floral and decorative pieces from the
13 Arts Flowers.
I've used very little wet media on the card and tag set except for lightly dabbing with white gesso and splattering with my
Patina Bronze Mist.
Here is just a side view to show you some of the layers.
Next I created this simple tag to co-ordinate with my card.
For a smashing tag every time, use 3 layers and do a bit of old school punch work at the bottom.
Then add a few layers of ephemera and a gorgeous tulle bow.
I really wanted to highlight the Bumble Bees, so I used that as the top layer of my tag.
Then added some ephemera from
Ephemera pack ~ Under the Stars and a few flowers.

Lastly, I dabbed with white gesso and splattered with my
Patina Bronze Mist. Added my tulle bow for the crowning touch.
Now I am all set for the next time I am needing a handmade card!
