Mother's Day Tag with "Pro 31 Designs"

Happy Wednesday!!
I hope everyone is enjoying their week!
I finally got around to creating a tag with the
that I created to share with you Saturday. I used an image from the Graphics Fairy.
If you visit the link above, you will find out how to get your free digital collage sheet emailed to you.
Thank you Gina (Scrappinology) for the wonderful Youtube video!  Gina also has a "ning site"
I would like to thank my Bestest online Buddie Carol for the beautiful tag she created!
  A new follower Amelia created some beauties as well!
(you can see photos of these at the link above).
On to my tag.
Since I designed this tag specifically to be used for Mother's Day, I will be sharing with Berry71bleu (Mother's Day)
 I used my favorite Flatback pearls in Champagne, Curly mulberry Roses, Ivory Pearl Sprays, Brown Wheat sprays and Double Brown satin and organza Ribbon from Pro 31 Designs!
I used some of my favorite vintage look stained seam binding ribbon and May arts green satin leaf ribbon.  This week at the Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge is Mother's Day / Feminine with ribbon.  I used my favorite background stamp that I drew and carved.  It is my favorite because it is versatile, and adds great character to the edges of my designs.  I think it is time to make some new stamps...so watch for some videos coming soon!  Simon Says Stamp and Show your favorite Stamp...so I will be sharing there this week!  I am also sharing at Just Keep on Creating!
I have used my favorite techniques of taking images, and altering them digitally, printing them out and embellishing them!  Check out the Stamp Man Challenge this week and share your favorite technique.  Another thing I love to do is make the back look as good as the front.
I love the vintage feel and all the pearls...yummy!!
I do have the digital tags for sale with out the "Mother's Day Wording," and in other colors!  You can find them here.
I will share for inspiration this week at Passionately Artistic Blog.
I threw this together last night and did a video of the process.  So if you like to watch videos, you may like to subscribe to my 
You Tube Channel.

Thank you for the visit!!
I would love to see what you create with the tag set!  
I would super love to see a video response to my video.
Hugs!!

Mother's Day Card 2012

Happy Pink Saturday Friends!!
I know it is still Friday, but it is time for 
I would like to share a Mother's Day card that I designed using some images from the Graphic Fairy and embellishments from
 Pro 31 Designs.
I was inspired by some challenges this week.  Let's start off with the 
Sugar Creek Hollow's and Berry71bleu's Mother's Day Challenges.
I was also inspired by the Shabby Tea Room Challenge (flowers, colors from photo polka dots and a heart).  You will see that I used one of my favorite stamps that I drew and carved in Ranger's Vintage photo Distress Inks. 
I used my stamps and did some embossing on the heart above, then used Ranger's perfect Medium pen along with Ranger's perfect pearls in perfect copper.  This inspiration came from the
Fashionable Stamping Challenge.  It is "Anything Goes" at 
Just keep Creating this week.
Nothing say's "Garden" like a bunch of beautiful flowers! So I will be linking up to the Tuesday Throwdown challenge!  Flowers remind me of spring!!  So I will be sharing with the Pink Elephant and There She Goes Challenges as well.
I used the free online program GIMP to create my papers!  I used this gorgeous flower image from the Graphic Fairy, first I cleaned it up and then added to it.  I also created the background paper with tiny roses, in GIMP as well.


Here you can see the back, the pretty colors from the inspiration photo at the shabby tea room.  I just love my favorite Champagne flatback pearls from Pro 31 Designs!!  They are my favorite bling!!  So I will be playing along with the Stamptacular Sunday challenge (Spring Bling).  Paper Sundaes this week ask that you used Pearls and Ribbon!!  Yummy!!
Of course there is a hidden tag!!  I will be sharing this week with the Stamp Man Challenge  (It is to use your favorite technique!!)and 365 Cards Challenge  (Your greatest talent) Which my favorite techniques and talent are using GIMP and Inkscape to create my own digital papers and patterns and templates.  Then taking those, printing them out and creating "ONE of a KIND" card and gifts!  I think this is my favorite challenge!!
I just found the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge blog!  Who doesn't love ribbon??  I have one more surprise!  This inner tag can hold a gift card!  See below :0)  I will putting a gift card for flowers in this for my Mother.  I will create another just like it for my Mother in Law!!  I will also do a video of it.
One last look at the card front!!

Of course I will with share this for inspiration at 
Make it Monday!! and Color Connection


Thank you for visiting!!
Hugs!!
