Time for Tag You're It Challenge #27 to begin...and check out the absolutely darling delight that Anja created to dazzle and inspire us! That little turtle is fabulous - and how impressive is her die-cutting...and colouring....and stenciling...and sponging? Talk about ever so many idea-sparking possibilities!
As you can tell, I'm smitten with Anja's tag, so I set out to case hers, with a twist. Introducing my Paper Smooches 'gator, who's smiling not only because he's wishing someone a 'Happy Birthday' , but because he's happy about sporting a 'reasonable' green-and-brown suit coloured with Chameleon pens.
Making this card/tag was quite fun, especially since I only had to toss a couple messed up 'gators before I created "the one."
Please be sure to scope out what my amazing teammates - Erin, Donna, Jeanne, and Kara Lynne - and our talented guest designer, Betty, have created...then join us in the gallery! YOU could be one of our guest designers!
I'm also heading to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge~Anything Goes
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!
Hugs,
Ooooh, how fun! The colors are amazing. Like how you used that stencil in the background (grin). I also really like the colors and the bit of texture on the big tag under the alligator. Awesome tag!!
