Morning. I think one of my most inspiring places just has to be out in the garden. The colours, textures and beauty just make me want to make a card. I also find so much inspiration at Splicoast Stampers as you know and the challenge today got my creative juices flowing.
I began by cutting a tag using a tag die from My Favourite Things. I inked up the flower stamp from the Stampin Up set called Spring Garden by colouring on the stamp with Memento markers. I then sprayed with water and stamped. While the tag dried, I stamped the sentiment....it is an oldie but still one of my favs. I added the twine to the tag then sewed it onto my card front.
I am also adding my card to these challenges:
Curtain Call- BIRTHDAY BASH
Tag You're It- INSPIRED BY VIRGINIA
YNS- INSPIRATION PHOTO
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Supplies: stamps- SU, PSX/ Memento markers/ Memento bl/ twine/ tag die MFT/ sewing machine

Hollyhocks are so sentimental to me; I remember them in my grandfather's garden. But I just cannot get them to look pretty here in OH - the bugs just decimate the leaves! So I love seeing them on cards - yours is so bright and crisp, Karen!
What a beautiful way to spotlight those flowers on a tag! I can see the inspiration from Virginia's colors, too! Thanks so much for linking this up to Tag You're It! Hope to see you again, Karen!
