Rosebuds Tag


Hi everyone.  Today is the start of a new challenge at ATCAS (#51), hosted by my very talented teammate, Vicki (All I Do is Stamp).  She chose this fun word ...






Prize:  5 digital images


Great code word Vicki!!  Had a lot of fun making my card using my new stamps "Rosebuds" from Shirley-bee's new line of stamps "The Bees Knees".

Watercoloured the background first, cut it into a tag shape, stamped and watercoloured the rosebuds and then finished it off with a simple banner sentiment and some ribbon.  Once I mounted it on my white card base, I thought it needed some texture, so I removed the tag and added hearts with embossing paste.  Just adds a little somethin' somethin' in the background.

We have a new Guest Designer at ATCAS for the month of November ... welcome to Linda L (Creepin' Along)!  We're so happy to have her joining our team.  I hope you'll take some time to check out her blog.

  8. I Love how you used your watercolored background technique for your pretty rosebud image. Adding the EB paste hearts in the background added so much beautiful, but simple texture. TFS Loll.
