Tag You're It GD!


Hi there!

We've whooshed our way through another week to a Friday! I hope your week was filled with all kinda good things!

I'm so pickled tink to be here today as Guest Designer for the current Tag You're It challenge with this tag:
For this challenge, we are to use this beautiful inspiration tag made by the sweet and talented designer, Marybeth Lopez of Marybeth's Time for Paper:

For my take on the design inspiration as your guest designer, I used Marybeth's elements of a two-part tag with both parts border-embossed. I used a pierced tag die from PTI. I flipped her design and used white for my underskirt and a pattern for the overskirt. Like Marybeth, I used a sediment (from SU) and a butterfly (from K and Company).

It is super easy to make a QACAS tag where the paper itself takes center stage. I used a lovely white glossy butterfly-embossed paper for the bottom and a patterned and embossed vellum for the top, which I stamped in a clear space.

 Here is a close-up:

I hope you'll be able to join in this fun Tag You're It challenge! Remember, when you win one of the TYI challenges, you get to appear as a guest designer! Besides, if you're like me and you don't make a lot of tags, this challenge is a great motivator and the gallery is filled with wonderful design ideas!

~~~

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!* 

Through the magic of television ~ no, wait, that's not right. Through the magic of, well, magic, I am appearing via a scheduled post as I am still visiting hither and yon with my friend Gal A. Vanting. I'll be back anon!

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!

    That is just gorgeous Darnell. That patterned vellum takes on an amazing look paired over the de-bossed white paper behind it! This is a must make for me next time I'm making tags, (which will probably be the holidays). Have a great day!
