Hey there friends how are you today....I hope you're having a wonderful week so far! On my side of the world we've enjoyed a most lovely transition into Spring....beautiful blooms and lush green trees at every glance....oh how I love spring!
....so have I shared how smitten I am with the Vintage Roses stamp set by Layers of Color....there are so many possibilities that I fear my only enemy is time....time to create all of the wonderful ideas that float about my creative mind.....but alas I'll settle for sharing one little something with you for now.....
....so have I shared how smitten I am with the Vintage Roses stamp set by Layers of Color....there are so many possibilities that I fear my only enemy is time....time to create all of the wonderful ideas that float about my creative mind.....but alas I'll settle for sharing one little something with you for now.....
....this little beauty is a tag inspired by the look of a message board....though this one is over-the-top in girly'ness and shabby chic love.....just how I like it:)
.....to start...layers of my favorite designer paper like Webster's and K&Co....the two are so dreamy together...
....then came more of the feminine touches I can't resist....like smidges of vintage lace and deliciously pink Melissa Frances crepe paper..and of course a few vintage buttons for good measure......
.....a bit of Webster's ribbon from my BlueMoon stash in the sweetest shade of aqua......and to top it all off..... an enchanting 3D rose created by layering the Vintage Roses....
.....so easy to create too....just stamp the roses, cut along the edges, and layer with glue dots....easy-peasy!
....for a bit more rosey-posey love....a few extra roses were transformed into a sweet pair of buttons.....
.....and the final touches....a bit of criss-crossed satin ribbon and a dash of glitter.....
.....with a little love and yummy embellies a bare K&Co chipboard has now become a shabby and elegant home for a few calling cards....or perhaps a treasured photo....even better.....the perfect alternative to a gift card holder.....
....while you're visiting don't forget to enter my give-a-way for
Where Women Create - Book of Inspiration....
...accompanied by a bookmark created by ME!
Deadline is April 30th

Hi Abby~How are you, my friend? I have been wanting to come over here and catch up with you. What a whirlwind my life is in right now. I am finally getting here though.
I, too, am happy to see spring. It is my favorite season, and the earth coming to life again after such an intense winter is a magical treat to my eyes!
Your tag is beautiful! I love the way you do those roses. A unique touch of Abby. Thank you for sharing, and I hope to visit you again soon! Take care, and enjoy this wonderful time of year :)
You never cease to amaze Abby! A delightful little tag and yes so shabby chic! Love it. Glad you're enjoying the Spring time there. We are now into Autumn in Aus.

Abby ... this is absolutely {STUNNING}!!! Webster's and K&Co are among my favorites too! I {heart} how you layered the stamped rose images to create a 3-D flower -- I'm crazy about 3-D flowers!!! The colors are scrumptious! I just love everything about your lovely design. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us in the Tea Room! I look forward to seeing another wonderful design from you on Monday for our next challenge too :)

Hi Abby,
It's been so long since I've stopped by. I have been so busy lately that I have lost contact with some of my old friends and I hate that. Hope you and your family are well! Your tag is utterly amazing, as always. Love the colors and the message board effect with the ribbon is so cute. The Shabby Tea Room is so perfect for your style. You should be on their DT - LOL!! Congrats on coming in Top 3 this week!
Hugs,
Linda

Well I think I'm a little late on a chance to win the book (by about a year). I have another edition of that book I just discovered at the library, lots of inspiration there. Love this tag, it's combination of delicate elements make one happy by just looking at it. Great ideas you're sharing. Thanks. ~ Abby ~
