At our house, April means the beginning of baseball season … Cardinals baseball! My studio is one half of our "retreat room" (a former attached two car garage). We spend every Sunday during baseball season in that room … me working in my studio … my husband on the couch … while we watch the game.
This is my tag for April made of navy cardstock (4"x8") covered in baseball designer paper and accented with foam stickers and a St. Louis Cardinals Pennant. The top of the tag is a small baseball stamp from my stash matted on multiple circles.
In Iowa, May is when the flowers begin to bloom. For my May tag, I used floral paper from Basic Grey and Julia’s wonderful origami butterfly tutorial.
It took me a couple of tries with scrap paper to perfect the fold. I couldn’t find any double-sided paper that worked for my design, so I used spray adhesive to adhere the pink and green Basic Grey DP’s together before folding. I hand-cut the butterfly body.
I felt flowers and three smaller punched butterflies to finish the design. I love the dimension and texture of this design.
I’ll be back tomorrow with more Tags of the Month … can’t wait to see what you create.
Your tags are awesome! I can’t wait to see the next ones.
