Hello and happy weekend! I hope your summer is going great. I am still on vacation, but was able to schedule posts beforehand and am doing some blogging on the road. I'm back today to share a tag I made for Lori Rider's Our Creative Corner challenge. This week Lori has a color challenge for us: Poppy, Lime, Pink, Black and White with the required twist of adding either fabric or circles or both.
Well, I don't mind telling you the colors threw me for a loop! Holy moly, I thought, how on earth can I use those colors? Well, sometimes, you gotta just jump in and that's what I did. I started by sponging a doily with Ripe Persimmon DI, which I used for my poppy color. Then I sponged my tag with Shabby Shutters (lime) DI and stamped in black archival ink with the Elements of Style toile stamp from Stampin' Up! I cut my doily apart before affixing it in two separate pieces to the tag. I created a faux butterfly button using a PTI die, a TH stamp and some Clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint and added a few more black buttons as decorative elements. The sentiment is from the Lovely Day stamp set by Artistic Outpost.
My handmade black crinoline flower was the defining black element. I found a gorgeous black and gold button for the center in my vintage button stash. My pink is just a tiny pop with the itty bitty pink butterfly and the pink stick pin. A strip of black crocheted lace finished this piece off.
Now that my colorful tag is finished, I must say that I love the way it came out. The colors are incredible together, especially the poppy and lime!
