Hi Everyone.
Happy Saturday. It's my turn to host the Paper Players challenge this week. It's clean and simple week and the challenge is to create a clean and simple card using a tag.
I love the Kindness Matters set. The butterflies really appeal to me. This time I wanted to separate them and place them along the tag. I really enjoyed coloring them and then fussy cutting around them.
I so rarely use River Rock and decided that this card really needed the more organic feel you get from it.
Here's what I came up with
I cut the tag using Very Vanilla – a perfect complement to the River Rock. I inked up an old grass stamp for the background with Always Artichoke and River Rock and spritzed with just a touch of water to blend the colors a little better. I then stamped the Butterflies using Stazon and used my markers to color them. All I needed was my SU paper snips and a couple of pieces of Stampin' Dimensionals to lift them from the tag. I also popped the tag and the second layer using Stampin' Dimensionals. I threaded some twine through the button and then softened the color using my ink pad. I also used an embossing plate to add a little dimension to the second layer. I LOVE the sentiment.
We hope that you will pop along to the Paper Players and join us this week.
As always, thank you for spending time in my little area of the stamping blogosphere. Your visits and your comments mean a great deal to me.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

Jaydee, this is so beautiful. I really need to use tags more, so I hope I can find some time to play along.
I just love this one. I would have never guessed which set you used for the butterflies. They look so different colored in.
Hope all is going well with your house. How do you think your animals will like the change of scenery?
Gorgeous! Love the two-tone reed, those beautiful butterflies and the fabulous way you threaded the twine through the button. 🙂
Oh Jaydee you have me thinking spring here! Love this!
Jaydee I really love this card. Thanks!
Aw I love that one … will have to case that. I just keep forgetting about my big tag dies (shame on me) that must mean that I have way to much to play with. (lol)
Thanks for sharing! Wishing you a great Sunday!
Beautiful Jaydee! The butterflies and grass have me longing for warmer weather! Love your coloring and how real they look. I don’t use tags on my cards, but you prove to me that I should give that a try. Hope you are having a lovely weekend!
This is lovely!

Hi Jaydee, Lou and furbabies!
I’ve been busy away from the computer for the past few days and am only just catching up. I love the River Rock with this card! It’s such a nifty color the way it changes given what it’s paired with. Here it looks the loveliest green and it is beautiful with those whimsical little butterflies. :o)
I hope all is well and Sam is on the mend!
Hugs!
Beautiful! Love those wonderful little butterflies on here too. So pretty.
