Tuesday with Tara {take 443} Every Little Thing

Sometimes we need a reminder that every little thing is going to be alright.  Today’s card is a spin off inspired by our current Inspiration Hop theme- Sunshine & Rainbows!  If you haven’t checked it out, it’s not too late to get your name in for a chance to win, and leave our creative team of ladies some love while you are at it!

I’ve used some of the extra cut out pieces from the larger rainbow on my other card to make a mini one here, pairing it with these fun cloud border dies (with stitched edges, like the oblong dies I used for my rainbow!) and letting this sweet Piglet stamp & sentiment by Impression Obsession steal the show!

I used some mini butterfly dies from my stash (these are by Memory Box) cut from scraps and mounted the card layers onto a sunny Marigold card base to keep things really bright!

Little details like using the body from a different piglet stamp to add stripes to some of the butterflies and cutting the middle layer of clouds from inky book print add some fun interest that keep this card from being totally crisp.  I love adding inky details to my cards!  Hope this one brings a smile to your day!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 440} Knowing Bee

Happy Tuesday!

If you joined me live on Facebook last week (or caught the replay) you would have seen me color up this Funky bee near the end of our time together.  After all my watercolored bits were dry, I glued my layers together and added some Glossy Accents to his wings.  Since the watercolor paper I was working on was a lighter weight, it gives it a somewhat translucent effect.  It’s not what I intended… but it’s kinda perfect for wings!

I know it’s another grey card base, but I really thought the Silverleaf Willow by Prism Studio complemented the colors of my bee quite nicely.  I cut a wide border at the crease side of my card with one of the Puffy Cloud Border dies by Lawn Fawn.

Behind the bee, I used some book print which I spritzed with some Distress Oxide Spray in Salvaged Patina.  I then adhered that paper to white cardstock and attached it under the creased edge of my card.  I stamped a sentiment from one of my older Tim Holtz stamp sets (CMS086 if you’re wondering) to finish it off.

I’ll show you how I did that fold and assembled the card during this week’s Facebook Live, but our finished card will feature the dragonfly I colored :). Hope to see you there!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 427} This calls for coffee

Happy Tuesday!  It seems like all of North America is facing a cold spell right now… this calls for COFFEE!  Today I’m sharing a fun monochromatic card I made for a coffee loving friend’s birthday.

I had fun digging through my supplies (and the scraps on my desk!) for blue pieces I could use for this card.  My coffee cup is from the fabulous Papercut Cafe die set by Tim Holtz.  I cut it from a scrap of Knit Picky Winter Patterned Paper by Lawn Fawn (also used on the middle layer on this card!) along with some other blue scraps, including a fun glittery piece.  I paired it with a white embossed sentiment by  Catherine Pooler.

The background of the front panel features the honeycomb from one of Tim Holtz’s mini stencil sets and some sparkle texture paste.  The bottom layer is from Vicki Boutin’s 6×8 Ready to Use Mixed Media paper.  The stitched layers were cut with the Prism Nesting Stitched Rectangles, which rarely leave my desk these days!  I finished it all off with some blue crinkle ribbon, inked up with a whole lot of Prize Ribbon Distress Ink (seriously, I think my ink pad got double inked so I tried to use some of it up on ribbon!).
I love all the fun textures in this card that I got from using a variety of materials and patterns, all working together because of the simple color palette.  Hope you like it too!
Inky hugs,
Tara
