'Peep' tag card

Here's a Spring-ish kind of card with
that cutie-pie "Peep"
from Purple Onion Designs.

Peep was coloured with Copic markers & cut out
so he could stick his little tail off the edge of the tag:



(The silver heat embossed leaves are cut out too
& I added some Swarovski crystals).

The tag was coloured with distress inks:



(Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Evergreen Bough,
Mustard Seed, Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade).
then heat embossed (in clear) with a background stamp
Hero Arts Ancient Motif stamp.




Combining faux washi tape with real washi tape
is a sneaky way to get more variety in your washi palette
without buying more washi tape...



These strips of pattern are a mix of:

• Washi tape, as is (#5 the pink striped one)
• Copic marker altered washi tape (#8 green on the right).
• Crate Paper Paper Heart 6x6 paper (#1,2,4,7)
  
• DIY digital paper cut into strips (#3,6)

(It's always fun to save money, right? Plus it's a
good way to use up your smallest paper scraps).

And of course 'Peep' lives with his buddies in

Hope you're having a gorgeous week!
We're off to tackle our community garden
plot some more. Spring is the best, no?

Hugs,

P.S. The embossing folder I used on the watercolour paper for the background is a Sizzix Tropical Paisley folder from this duo, in case you're curious.
