Happy Friday!
Didn't this week go fast? Great weather, which we can all take, and made conditions traveling into Toronto so much easier for me. I had a week full of appointments and tests, everything it fine just some annual checkups and an MRI. It is exhausting though. Saturday we are heading up to Sudbury as both of the kids are finished school. Year three completed for Ben and year one for Brooklyn. We are going up to help Ben move into his new apartment, apparently his furniture doesn't fit in his Civic--ha ha! and we are bringing Brooklyn and all her possessions home for the summer. So after 8 months of it being really quiet around the house a flurry of activity is going to be happening for the summer.
So today I have a tag/card for the Tag You're It Challenge #45 reminder call. I am absolutely in love with the gorgeous ink blending on Carol's tag. I had some big ideas for my contribution but when I packed up my road kit for my road trip I came without a few elements. I forgot to bring the stencil I was planning to use so instead I borrowed a clear background stamp from my Mom which I partially inked up with the Hero Arts Butterbar to Orange Soda Ombre ink pad.
When I went to do my ink blending, although I brought all of my Mini Distress Ink Pads with me, some of the ink pads didn't have their foam blender on the bottom so that limited my colour choices a bit.
A little closer look...
There is still time to play along with this challenge, hope to see you there!!

Gorgeous tag-card, Tracey. And what ever didn't make it into your mobile crafting unit, wasn't needed. I love that background stamp you borrowed from your Mom; those arrows look like they were made for your design. And that sweet little butterfly! Love this!! Have a great weekend. Bev
Love this card, Tracey, love the "movement" the arrows give, and the shades of orange!!
Sounds like busy times Tracey, but I know a mama who is going to be happy to have her girl home!! Love what you've done with your tag and the fun arrows in the background. This is pretty!!
Oh I like this so much. Great colors.
Sounds as though your summer is starting early, Tracey ... enjoy every family moment! Gorgeous card ... that blending is beautiful ... love how the delicate white butterfly really stands out against it! Perfect background ... light and dainty like the butterfly! Hugs, Anita :)
That is just so bright and sunshiny beautiful!! Your blending is awesome! Glad all of your test came back fine! Have fun with your kiddos! :)
How nice that you will have a noisy house full again. Love this tag. You did an incredible job and it does not look at all like your supplies were limited in the least.
Your inking on the tag is so smooth and gorgeous, Tracey!
Beautiful! I love the sweet colors that you did choose to blend, and the butterfly and sentiment is just perfect!
Flawless ink blending, and I love the ombre effect on your background! Such a sweet butterfly, too...Beautiful tag, Tracey!
