Tag you're it #16

I loved this Tag You're it inspiration photo. I recently purchased a new stamp and die set from A Muse, and decided they would be perfect for this challenge.

I dic-cut the pieces first along with quite a few extras.  Then using pigment inks, I stamped the flowers and leaves. The hardest part for me is positioning the pieces.  Once they were arranged to my liking, I took a picture and glued them down, some with foam squares. 

I added some wink of stella over the dark pink bloom and the leaves.  Then I dug out some 4 mm Pretty Pink Posh sequins and glued them down.  I matted the tag in black and added a double seam binding bow in black. The sentiment comes from Stampin Up.


Supplies : A Muse stamps and Dies - Pretty Peonies. Inks- A Muse (Lichen, Berry, Blush), Mama Elephant - Mojito, Versafine -Onyx Black,  Seam Binding- Hug Snug, Paper- Michael's White-110lb card stock (cuts and takes color very nicely.) Black 65 lb.

Oh wow--you nailed it, Cat! Love your new stamps & how you used them--the black is perfect! Never thought to take a picture to follow for gluing items in place--brilliant idea, my friend!

Your cluster of flowers is so pretty! And I love the little scattering of sequins! Thanks for joining us at Tag You're It!

Flower arranging is another skill in which I'm deficient, which may be why I so rarely stamp flowers. Am I allowed to be impressed you know the size of your sequins?

Oh, I just LOVE your flowers, Cat! Using 2 shades of pink is so striking, and I love how you outlined it with a black border and ribbon/bow! Looks like a winner to me :)
