Creative Embellishments BIG tag!

 One of my favorite recent additions to the Creative Embellishments store, is the Large Tags set.  They are the perfect size (5.5" x 10") for creating little pieces of art.  The French theme is carried out with Photo Play's French Flea Market collection, and of course an Eiffel Tower chippy from Creative Embellishments.  Continuing with the French theme, I added a cute poodle as poodles are often, erroneously, called french poodles.  They are in fact, just poodles, toy, miniature or standard poodles.  There's no french in the name.

The Eiffel Tower chipboard piece is a great 3" x 6".  I used Stampendous Shabby Chic pink embossing enamel to finish off the tower.

I really love the Rose Flourish  on the right side of that tag.  It's so pretty cascading from the pretty pink Petaloo flowers. I painted te flourish with water colors.  I like to use thin paints so that the etching in the chipboard doesn't fill with paint and disappear.

At the bottom I used a flourish from the Leafy Corner Flourish Set and it's colored with Lindy's mists.

I always like to pop up elements on my tags.  I think that really adds to the depth and dimension of the tag that really creates a really appealing look.

An easel card with a twist for Cheery Lynn Designs

I love to make easel cards but I like to give them a twist by giving the front a nice shape like this scalloped oval.  I used Cheery Lynn's Oval Scalloped LG Stackers Nesting Dies 6 Piece Die Set
to do that.  The scalloped front of the card looks so nice sitting on the rectangle base.

I used Photoplay papers and ephemera from the French Flea Market collection to make this card. You know the connection...Paris...fashion, perfect collection to use with the Antique Dress Forms dies from the recently released Veriloquent Vintage Collection.

Next I added the Polynesian Sails Oval Die to add a pretty doily effect.  Then I tucked in some ephemera, the bird cage and "enjoy today" card from the paper collection.

To finish my card off, I made some pretty flowers with the Floral Bouquet Kit 8 Piece Die Set backed with leaves cut with the Flourish #14 2 Piece Die Set.

Beautiful, layout for Creative Embellishments

Hi there paper peeps, sharing a favorite photo of my sweet fur babies today scrapped with Photo Play papers and perfectly embellished with chipboard from Creative Embellishments!  The girls adore each other so much that most of the time they are cuddled up together like in this photo.

I recently discoverd Photo Play papers and this one, French Flea Market is just so feminine and perfect for my poodles!  I love the pink with the toile like paper, it really pulls the photo into perfect harmony with the layout.

Creative Embellishments first had these word borders that fit a 12 x 12, now they've made the word borders in smaller sizes.  I love how the word sits perfectly under the photo as if it were part of the photo.  I used shabby pink embossing enamel to finish off the chippy.

Underneath my floral clusters I used corner flourishes and although they are partly hidden, the flourishes still give the clusters that extra something that makes them really stand out.  I used a two part process to treat them, first I covered with Prima's vintage gold Metallique Wax and then I added some embossing enamel, being sure to leave bare spots where the gold would shine through.
