Teasers - Day 4!

I can't believe we're up to day four of teasers already! I have a couple of projects to share tonight, they're as different as night and day and that's what I love about My Favorite Things - there's something for everyone!
My first project is a tag that features Inspired by Spring. I love, love, love the images in this set! I'm just amazed at all the detail in the stamps, they're beautiful. I stamped the nest image and cut it out using the Textile Rectangle Die-namic. I added just a hint of colour to the eggs and the bird using watercolour crayons.

My second project features a new Claire Keay set - Hello Sunshine. You're going to fall in love with this adorable girl!
I coloured the image with SU markers and paper pieced the dress. There's the dizzy doily die-namic again - once this baby landed on my doorstep I couldn't stop using it!
Great sentiment, right? I've used the wonderful Open Zig Zag Die-namic again.

Here are the Die-namics I've used today:

  3. What a neat tag and your packaging looks great! I never thought to crinkle and use that shipping paper that I get in boxes, for wrapping paper! I was only using it for die-cuts and flowers and to make background paper for my cards! Thanks! Your second card is daring, bright, bold and funky--I like it! :)

  25. LOVE that tag! The images are so intricate they look terrific stamped on their own without any additional coloring, and they really jazz up that brown paper wrapped gift. I love the faux stitching around the edge of your card as well. I have really enjoyed seeing all your creations on the sneak peaks hops this month.
