DT: Unscripted Sketches

With Mother's Day coming up, I wanted to make something special for the moms in my life.  I used this week's sketch at Unscripted Sketches and love the way it turned out. I had this die for so long and I'm finally putting it to use.  I recycled some thin chipboard from packages to make the frame.  It is adhered together with foam tape for more dimension.  The floral spray is from a swap I did with A Lil Scrap of Heaven.  For the post, click here. 

Supplies~
pp: Bailey{K&Company}
dies: scallop frame & frame back; small easel {Sizzix}
ink: walnut stain
misc: darling chipboard stickers{Thickers}; crackle accent

DT: Drunken Stampers

Another fabulous challenge is posted on Drunken Stampers.  For this week's challenge, we want to see some acetate on your project.  Here's mine...

I just love this paper collection from Bo Bunny.  The designs are so adorable and I love the colors.  When I first saw this die set from Spellbinders, this idea for the card came to me.  I folded the ends over to insert the acetate tag.  The flowers hold the tag in place so it won't fall out. 

I positioned the phrase so it was hidden by the twine.  You don't know what it says until you pull out the tag.  And the other side also has a phrase.

The tag is cut from the same die set.  I didn't want to cover up the design, so that's why I chose to use acetate. Did I mention I love this paper collection? Ü  The paper doily is cut in half since the die's so big.  It's a great layering piece.  Would you agree?  

Supplies~
pp: Persuasion Collection{Bo Bunny}
cs: early espresso{SU}
stamp set: flirty phrases{Verve}
dies: charming banner{Verve}; Ornate Artisan Tags and Accents{Spellbinders}
misc: pink flowers{I Am Roses}; blue flowers{Savvy}; pink twine; eyelet{American Crafts]; ribbon{Target's $1bin}; paper doily
