Inspired Stamps Tag

Hello and welcome here!  I'm keeping this short and sweet today because I am sick and want to crawl back into bed, lol, but hopefully it isn't short on inspiring you to make some tags.  This week the Inspired Stamps DT are sharing Tags!

Tag Size:  2.75" x 5"
I used Psalm 92:4 and the flower is from Flower Value Set.  I embossed the tag and punched a fancy border across the bottom.  I kept it black and white so that the scripture verse and flower would pop.

Recipe:  Inspired Stamps SS-Psalm 92:4 & Flower Value Pack, CTMH CS-White Daisy & Black, PP-BoBunny Powder Blue Dot & Moxxie Noteworthy Stage Presence, CTMH Ink-Black, Martha Stewart Scroll Lace Border Punch, Crafts Too Lattice EF, Tattered Lace-Border & Corners Die, Foam Squares, Pearls, Copics-RV21, RV23, RV25, YG25, YG67.

Inspired Stamps Mini Scripture Easel

Hello and welcome here!  It's time for some Inspired Stamps inspiration.  A while ago I received a goody package from Antoinette...the creator/owner of Inspired Stamps...and I have been waiting for the right moment to use the cute little easel she had included.  Well, lucky you that day is today!

Easel:  4.75" high x 4" wide
Wouldn't this just brighten someone's day!!  I used the stamp set Mark 10:37 and Flower Value Set.  I stamped the scripture onto the canvas and oops, I didn't get it to stamp properly so what I did was use a fine tip black felt tip pen to trace the letters....phew, saved it.

I coloured the flowers with Copics...they're one of my favourite flowers from the set!  I finished the canvas off with some dots of Pearl Pen.

The ribbon was from Close To My Heart and the edges are nicely finished so I only had to attach it to the canvas, I didn't have to worry about covering a yucky edge.

Copics Used:
Purple Flower - V12, V15, V17
Pink Flower - RV11, RV32, R56

Recipe:  Inspired Stamps SS-Mark 10:27 & Value Pack Flowers, CTMH CS-White Daisy & Sweet Leaf, Memento Black Ink, Felt Tip Pen-Black, Joy Crafts Frame-6002/0258, Viva Decor Pearl Pen-Cream, Foam Squares, CTMH Cotton Candy Pompom Ribbon, Mini Easel, Copics.

I almost forgot, there's a coupon for 40% off the HIGHEST priced stamp set, it will be at the end of this post!

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
 I used one of the flowers from the new Value Pack Flowers and coloured it with Copics!  It beautiful all on it's own, I just offset it along the oval frame.  I wanted a white leaf so that it didn't take anything away from the impact of the flower so I just cut one out of white cardstock.

Card Sizes:  3" x 3"
I also made a cute little 3" x 3" card set using the smaller rose from the Value Pack Flowers.  I coloured them with Copics, and used the 1" Circle Sentiments to finish them off.  I used a black felt tip pen to add a border and decorated them with paper and the roses.
