Good morning everybody, it's Saturday so that means another Stamp Simply Ribbon Store blog hop. As always, this is a Mystery Blog Candy, meaning the winner will be drawn from comments on one of today’s participating blogs, so leaving a comment on each blog will greatly increase your chances of winning, but only one comment per blog, please. The winner will be selected at 6 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, June 5 and will be posted on Sharon's blog on Wednesday or thereafter.
You must check back to claim your prize if you are the lucky winner!
I'm a HUGE fan of all things Melissa Frances, and this paper collection called C'est La Vie is a new favorite. I like the little cardstock banner and tags that's available, and match the paper for some great embellishments. The butterfly, roses, and leaves were made using Spellbinders die templates adding lots of dimension. After making the flowers, I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist, added white gesso across the tops of each petal with a medium size paint brush. I added foam tape between each layer, and the Distrezz-it-All around the bottom layer, then added ribbon and pearls.
The layout of this tag is much like last week's project here. I think it's cool how different they look due to the dimension of this weeks tag.
That's it for me today, remember you can click on the picture to make them larger for easier viewing, and all supplies are listed below with links.
Thanks for visiting - Linda ❤❤
