So I just came back from an amazing weekend in Las Vegas for OnStage. It was amazing and what I love the most are the friends that I got to see again, hug, laugh and have fun. I miss them so much! I have made wonderful friends through this business and they are so special to me. ♥
Because of that, I wanted to finally crank it up the Free as a Bird set. It is my very favorite from the catalog but I never got to play with it because I lost my dad right around release time and I was taking some time off.
I wanted to make a tag to go with a little something that I got for "my" girls for all the support they gave me during my difficult time. :)
Once I finally set for the design, it was easy to make. I started cutting my pieces with the 2 largest labels from the set using very vanilla cardstock and the polka-dot DSP.
Then I stamped the bird multiple times and got coloring. Once it was done, I fussy cut them all. Very relaxing!
The flowers were fussy cut from the DSP with curled edges to give more dimension and some enamel dots to add more volume. I really liked the way they turned out. Hard to pick which color to use, they are all beautiful! Stampin' Up! really has outdone themselves with those papers.♥
Love seeing them all together! I added some crystal effects to the DSP bird and fussy cut that too. For the sentiment, after I stamped and punched, I cut the bottom to give the impression of a cloud, sponged the edges and added some glitter and pearls and it was done! ♥
Hope you enjoyed my tags today and stay tuned for another project using the same set and papers!
Meanwhile, have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving! I am thankful for you! ♥
Love always,
Alessandra
