Bloom Tag by Dana Tatar

Hi! Dana here today sharing my take on Mandy's Spring Fling Mood Board. I used vintage fabric, postcards and digital images from Zeus and Zoe along with a fresh mix of flowers, 7 Dots Studio Hopefully patterned papers, colorful ribbon and a butterfly from fellow designers Kay's Etsy Shop to created this layered tag that I can't wait to attach to a Mother's Day gift.

I cut the gold embossed yellow roses and leaves that are tucked into my flower clusters from a vintage post card that came in my Zeus and Zoe kit.

Here's a closer look at Kay's beautiful butterfly. If you haven't been to her shop it is a must see with gorgeous butterflies in a rainbow of colors.

Here's Mandy's Mood Board. We'd love to see how this inspires you this month!

We have some fabulous prizes from our sponsor Zeus and Zoe to give away this month!

SPRING FLING APRIL 2015 CHALLENGE by Mandy

Happy April Berry71Bleu  friends!

 

 It's Mandy here and this month I'm hosting a super fun challenge called "Spring Fling"......I am so happy Spring is finally here and I wanted to jump in and host a challenge about it....When I think of  Spring I think of sweetly scented flowers, soft pastel colors, light breezy clothing, birds singing,  outdoor activities such as gardening, bike riding, picnics, long walks and more......Below is this month's mood board I created showing a variety of Spring inspired images.

I decided to create a layout using a photo image of a sketch I recently finished.  I did some photo editing to the sketch and tried to make it look vintage using "Viewfinder" with the photo editing tools....The sketch "in person" is brighter with cleaner lines....The woman has flowers in her hair so that is where my inspiration came from.  I wanted to stick with the soft pastel colors as seen in the above mood board.... Thank you, Marivic Clifton for providing the beautiful images to add to this month's project!

I did fussy cutting to three copies of the below image....The roses are hard to see but they're in there peeking out behind the photo....I added the word BEAUTY below the photo image.

I wanted to add pastel colors to this layout so I used various brands of mists/sprays.....The beautiful papers are from "7 Dots Studio".....They were generously provided from my term last year....Thank you!  The papers are the perfect color for this month's challenge! I also added a beautiful piece of chipboard from "Scrapiniec" below the photo....Thank you!

I added some texture by stenciling circles here and there....

I purposely added messy stitching and messy punch work. Lastly, I added various brands of die cut flourishes in with the flower/leave clusters.

 

We're looking forward to seeing all of your beautiful "Spring" inspired creations!  Don't be afraid to think outside the box!  Please feel free to create layouts, cards, mini albums, mixed media, altered projects, canvas work and more!!!!
