I Be-Leaf in You Tag by Diane Morales

Spring Encouragement Tag!

Today we are sharing a happy spring tag by Diane!

This tag features:
Newton’s Hanging Basket Stamp Set
Newton's Hanging Basket Die Set
Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad
Essential Tags Die Set
Circle Frames Die Set

I started creating this tag by first stamping and coloring the images from Newton’s Hanging Basket.
I wanted the green on the leaves to stand out on the tag, and to do this I used several shades of green Alcohol markers. Some uncolored white area was left on the leaves to make the leaves look more like a philodendron plant. I also stamped out the heart and plenty of extra leaves for adding on to the tag later. After cutting all of my images out with the coordinating die, I turned my attention to creating the tag.

I thumbed through the Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad and chose this orange stripe paper. This paper made the image pop and I knew it was going to be a winner!

I used the largest tag from the Essential Tags Die Set to die cut out my chosen paper.

To create a place for my sentiment I used the 2-inch circle from the Circle Frames Die Set. I embossed my sentiment with white embossing powder.

Now that all of the pieces are ready it is time to assemble my tag. I started my glue down by placing the sentiment circle in the lower left part of the tag.

Next, I placed my image at an angle above the sentiment circle. I decided on 2 hearts to the upper left part of the tag. Then I layered on all the extra leaves to give the image dimension.

To finish this tag, I defined the edge of the tag with a bright yellow marker.

I hope you enjoyed my take on this fun, spring tag featuring Newton’s Hanging Basket.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
