Rainy Day Tag

Thursdays at My Papercrafting are the Totally Tags and ATC's challenges.  I have to make a rainy day tag for a swap later in the month and I planned on using a PCW digi so this was a perfect fit.

The challenge theme is stitching; faux stitching is added along the top and the bottom edge.  The digi was printed on watercolor paper and colored with distress markers.  I glued that onto a piece of blue cardstock that I edged with a punch (don't remember the brand) and used a piece of ribbon (that my cat's been trying to get) to made a border where the white edge ended.  I often think of tags in terms of bookmarks so I don't make them chunky.  That's why the only 3-D item is the ribbon rose near the top where it could stick out over the top of a book, or out of a pocket in an album.

Visit at My Paper Crafting to see the entries.  There is always a lot of inspiration there.

Have a great day and happy creating.

The Crazy Challenge #99 - Bears & Little Scrap Pieces

Little Scrap Pieces just posted an anything goes challenge, new or old, so I am entering this one.  I love how it turned out, and so simple, too.  The link to Little Scrap Pieces is below.
In the days before Christmas, Melinda's Papercrafting World, the site of the Cooking with Cricut Challenge,  made available free downloads.  One of  the digital downloads was this darling bear which I colored in with Marvi markers and colored pencils.  I thought it would be perfect for the bears challenge.
