One of my favorite artists ... Donna Mikasa ... is being featured at the Tag You're It Challenge. Look at this beauty ...
My tag is pretty much a series of happy accidents. I tried to create the watercolored background using Color Burst, but wasn't really happy with either tag I made. Then I found the Neat & Tangled Punchinella Die Cut in my stash and tried cutting one of the tags. Because the paper was still a little wet, only part of the sequins came out easily ... and I loved the look.
This week's Mix-It-Up Challenge at Ellen Hutson is with Neat & Tangled, so that inspired the remainder of my tag design.
The sentiment is a combination of Just Hello from Neat & Tangled together with a sentiment from Essentials by Ellen Mondo Magnolia. I stamped and die cut my Mondo Magnolia twice and die cut it from two colors to create my bloom. I used Essentials by Ellen Bold Blossom Stand Alone Dies on my second discarded Color Burst Background for the leaves. A little striped washi tape, some black pearls, and yellow silk ribbon bow, and this beauty was complete ... I love it.
AAA Cards is also celebrating Tags ... so I'm linking-up there too.
Love your take on my tag, and the happy accidents! Thanks for joining TYI and for your kind words.

Gorgeous tag. Love all the layers and how the red and green work together without being Christmas-y.

Happy accidents are always welcome - like a ray of sunshine on a dull, cloudy day. Love that it all worked out for you :)
Thanks so much for joining us at Tag You're It...
