What's MOO! IPC 92

Welcome to a NEW Inky Paws Challenge.

This one will stretch those crafty muscles.

I been going thru a creative rut right now.

When this happens, I usually thumb thru my stamp sets for inspiration.

I came upon the Farmyard Friends StampSet and this set inspired this project.

I chose to create a tag using some fun orange printed paper from my stash.

 The background element using the Tumbling Heart Stencil.

This is embossed on Kraft card stock.

The forward element features the cow from the

Farmyard Friends Stamp Set and my sentiment.

For a pop of color, and the final element, I added grass using the

Land Boarders Die Set.

 Simple yarn bow finishes this tag.

Now it is your turn!

What will you create using this sketch?

Thanks for stopping by

Farmyard Friends Birthday Tag IPC 75

Hello everyone! 

 Welcome to the second half of our current Inky Paws Challenge.

In case you missed the first half here's the challenge!

I had so much fun with my first set of tags that a decided to create a second set.

These tags feature the Farmyard Friends Stamp Set.

Let me tell you how I created these tags.

It all starts with the Balloon Shaker Die Set. 

Just die-cut out the balloon shapes out of your favorite 
background paper that can hold a lot of ink.

I wanted to create a standard sky and grass background, but I didn't want to be too literal.

So, I went with a with a heavy amount of Salty Ocean Distress Ink for the sky 

and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink for the ground.

I applied a large amount of both colors to my paper. 

Then with a wet makeup sponge, I just started dabbing the ink off 

till I got the desired texture I liked to create the backgrounds.

While the balloon backgrounds were drying, I stamped out the images that I wanted from the Farmyard Friends Stamp Set and colored those in, and then fussy cut the images out.

Attach the images to the top of the balloon tags using foam tape to pop everything up.

Next, I stamped my sentiment ON my balloon tag. 

I also stamped the secondary sentiment onto white cardstock 

cut the sentiments out and attached it to my balloon tag.

Punching a hole on the top and adding twine was the final part.

Now it is your turn!
