Tuesday with Tara {take 58}

Happy Tuesday!  We seem to be having a very rainy August thus far, so I’ve got a bit of a flashback card to share with you today!  I created this one a few years ago, but it’s a favourite with lots of fun textures and a masculine feel.

I used stamps & the umbrella man die by Tim Holtz and papers by BoBunny for my card, the rest was pulled from my stash- things like crackle paint, Distress Ink, Glossy Accents, bits of metal, ribbon & twine…

This sentiment is a favorite of mine, always a good reminder when you are faced with literal and figurative storms in life! It holds an even more special significance for me since my outdoor wedding (we just had our 3rd anniversary last week!) when we had a huge storm and danced in the rain… take it from me, some of the best memories are made when you do!

Have a creative day!

Tuesday with Tara {take 54}

Happy Tuesday!  Hope you’ve had a great week and found some time to create- I’ve been a bit short on creative time lately, but am taking time today to work on creative projects which I hope to share with y’all over the next few weeks!  Today I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest again, this one featured a stack of colored blocks behind a floral die cut.  My card doesn’t really resemble the one I saw there beyond that basic concept, but that’s half the fun of inspiration- seeing where it takes your projects 🙂wildflower blocks (2)

I had a one inch strip of watercolor paper with a bit of color on it from trimming something else, so I decided to add bits of yellow and green (a combination of Color Burst, Distress Crayons & Distress Ink!) and trim it into 1″ squares.  I cut several wildflower dies out of a pearly white cardstock and selected the largest one to go on this standard A2 sized card.  I played around with the placement of the squares until I was happy with them, then snapped a photo with my iphone so I could refer to it once I removed the flower & was ready for glue!  I decided on a pale yellow background and added a lightly inked (Lucky Clover Distress Ink) background stamp by Tim Holtz to give it a bit of texture.  Once it was all dry, I pulled out the glue and adhered my blocks and my flower over them (I used multi matte medium for this tiny detailed image & the sentiment).  A white word and a bit of bling finished off my card.

I had a few extra pieces left so I put together a little tag with them- it gives a more modern, crisp look on a simple kraft background.

It’s always nice to have a bonus project that takes less than 5 minutes to finish up 🙂

Hope the week ahead is filled with JOY for you… and peace for our world.  We could use some of both right now!

Inky hugs,

Tara
