double tagged, with love.

I'm back with some more of the taggy goodies from Avery Elle, designed by my friend Nina.



This card is a little "modern" for me - no sponging of edges anywhere - but I did soften it by opting to copic-color the one tag and all of the random arrow-heads (is that what they are?)

Also, when I created this card, I thought I was being super creative because I used the tag dies and cut into my background with both tags, on an angle, so they could fit flush with the background layer, but then I saw that Nina did the same thing :)  If you want to see how it's done, click over for her photo-tutorial.  Insert something about great minds here....



I did allow the bottom half of the top tag to curl out....so, modern, with a romantic twist? hee.

I hope you like it!

eat me.

Did you see my friend Nina designed a few sets with Avery Elle?  I am playing around with Simply Tags: Everyday and Texture Tiles: be cool.



I doubled-up on tags and created gingham out of the striped image for a sweet, county-picnic look.



I just loved that fork and knife image for the moment I saw it!  And, paired with the picnic basket? perfection.

To create the border around the gingham circle, I simply traced it in pencil, curved the greeting slightly and stamped away.  Just remember to erase the pencil when you're done - I can't tell you how many times I've sat down to edit card pictures and only then noticed that the pencil line is still there...grrrr....

Nina generously turned my card design into a sketch for you:

I've never designed a sketch before - thank you, Nina!  By the way, did you know that Nina is one of the Paper Craft Gallery Idol finalists?  Check out her blog post here, and then go vote for your favorite!
