Welcome to the very first challenge at Tag You're It!
We are so happy to have Virginia Lu join us as our first Guest Designer!
Virginia has been such a source of inspiration in blogland for a long time and now hosts her own challenge blog Virginia's View where she encourages us to try try something new and artistic.
Here is what Virginia has created for our first challenge inspiration. Head over to to Tag You're It so that you can seen how the rest of the Design Team has been inspired by Virginia and to inspire you to create and link up your own tags!
Here is what I created...
I pulled the colours and shape from Virginia's tags and also used a die cut sentiment. To create my mat gold thanks I applied VersaMark to a rectangle of white cardstock, then heat embossed it with mat gold embossing powder. Then once it cooled I die cut thanks from it. I then die cut thanks with white four more times to create dimension.
HINT: To make it easier to line up delicate die cuts for this technique I use the negative die cut to line each layer up perfectly.
Hope you come and play with us at Tag You're It!

Oh how cute!! Wow, am I happy to hear how you gold embossed the cardstock first, before die cutting, Tracey... I can't tell you how many times I've adhered my tweezers to letters while heating the embossing powders!!
