 I started by stamping my entire tag with the Pebble Beach stamp, Yes I over lapped the stamp a bit and Yes its totally fine:)

Next I painted my images using a mix of Art Anthology Sorbet and Velvet

Now it was time to stamp my verse, I always stamp my verse several times so that when I am cutting my strips I have more options :)

I Just love this little Mermaid from the By the Sea Set so I had to add her to my embellishment cluster! 

See doesn't she look pretty!

Hello All!
 I hope you are having a great weekend! I know I am, even its a crazy busy one! But I still just had to stop in and share this sweet little tag.I created for this drill over at S.W.A.T Scrap Warriors, this weeks drill is a BINGO so you will have to hop on over and check it out!

Here is the line that I chose to work with:

  I used lots of bit and pieces from my past 3 Scrappy Boys past kits to make my tag. So with that in mind this is what I ended up with:

Some details :)

Here you can see some of the stitching I ran along the edge of the tag....

I used one of Sally's sewing tips, about keeping my bobbin thread white to save time.

Thanks, for the tip Sally!!

I really love how this heart turned out! 

First I roughly painted it using some Art Anthology. 

Then I sprinkled some thick embossing powder and heated it up.

 Last I added a bit of Inka Gold Rub for the final look. 

Yes I had a lot of fun!!

I sprayed  mix of blues from my Art Anthology

Colorations to change the color of my Ribbon & Lace.

Here you can see a peek pf the doily that I misted and ruffled to form her dress.

I hope that you like my little tag, I really enjoyed making it! So now it's your turn to get your BINGO on! I cant wait to see what you create! Just make sure to link up over at S.W.A.T before April 30th for your change to win an amazing prize pack from Paper Secrets!
