Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations....

Good morning and welcome to another Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations.  This morning I'm submitting a tag for your pleasure.  You know me, I love a good tag. They can be so many things to the person receiving them.  They can stand as a gift on their own or be tucked down inside a gift bag for a bit of added pleasure.  I hope you enjoy. 

The semi-finalists for the new design team are post this morning over on the Heartfelt Creations blog!  Join me in wishing them all good luck for the next part of this journey!

For more tips on creating with the Cherry Blossom Retreat collection, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/OaA2da5H-E0.
Instructions: My card size is 4 x 6". Using the tag die lay it on a folded piece of cardstock with the edge hanging off. Run this through the Vagabond and cut out the card. Using the coordinating die, cut a piece of the paper collection and layer it onto the front of the card. Next, cut out the medallion and use the coordinating die to cut a piece of the paper collection. Glue it to the medallion. Use dimensional tape to adhere to card front. Stamp the sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock and use the Tag die to cut out. I went around the edges of the cardstock with Magenta Hue ink. Use dimensional tape to adhere to medallion. Tie a piece of the seam binding into a bow and adhere to the edge of the sentiment.
Using StazOn Olive Green ink, stamp the leaves. Using Jet black Archival Ink, stamp the birds. Using Magenta Hue ink, stamp the flower petals. Color the leaves with Bamboo Leaves Memento ink. Color the little birds with Danube Blue and Magenta Hue. Layer everything into the mold, spritz with water and run through the Vagabond 2. Lay everything out to dry. Once dry, layer the flower petals and add glitter and Prills to them and set aside to dry. Add glitter to the little bird and allow to dry. Once everything is dry, decide on placement and glue down.

Maybe I'm confused. An all new design team? In addition to or in place of the current team? I did vote, but not sure what it's about. Well, anyway... I always enjoy stopping by here on Wednesdays so I can see what you and Heartfelt are up to. You're the tag queen, I think. You're so right about their versatility, and it's a good opportunity to add dimension with layers and flowers. I just love the little bluebird perched at the top of this one!

I'm with Leslie ... confused! I didn't see your name on the semi-finalist roster ... SAD! I will continue to follow and be inspired by your gorgeous creations! Rarely do I make a tag but I could certainly take a lesson from those you have created ... LOVE those little flowers .. just beautiful!
