EDIT * Winner of Embellish Magazine Challenge with Birds

Gift tags (as always, click for larger images)

*Edit* I won this challenge and I'm thrilled. I was blown away when I went to their web site and saw my tags with the little winner badge on them. So fun to make. Since I had a few things leftover from making the birdhouse for this Embellish Magazine challenge, I thought I would make some gift tags, using the same criteria for the challenge, and submit these also. I couldn't get all the detail photos to upload on this post so there is another post below for all the details and close up photos.

Supplies: Background stamp - Stampendous, Bird - Savvy Stamps, Sentiment - Hero Arts

Embellish Magazine baby card challenge

Stamp is by Stampotique Originals

Card size: 5 1/2" x 4"

Embellish Magazine baby card challenge details are to use yellow, green, peach and cream as well as having a baby theme to the project and this is what I came up with. It totally not a scheme I use regularly so it was a bit of a challenge for me. In fact, I went out and bought a piece of peach paper for it ;-)

I stamped the image in brown ink on three patterned papers and then again on the cream colored card. I then cut out each piece from the different patterned papers and paper pieced the whole thing together. I then used all the patterned papers to build up the frame around the image. I added Glossy Accents to the center of the flower saying to emphasize it. I then glued everything to the cream card and added three cream, heart shaped buttons to the bottom. TFL!

Detail of paper piecing. As a side note, the colors in these photos seem a bit dull. No matter what I did, I couldn't quite get them to photograph correctly.
