This month's PTI Blog Hop challenge is to gleam inspiration from the above photo and use it to create a project!
I am over-the-moon about this challenge as I absolutely LOVE a beautiful, bright, cheerful yellow! It's my all-time favorite color and has been since I was a kid. I LOVE it!
For this challenge I decided to include some aqua color. I had previously made a zipper tag (here), and decided to make a modified version of it to include some cash for my niece's birthday gift.
I covered a portion of my sentiment with tape so that I could stamp one word over the other. This is one of my favorite stamping tricks - except - when I forget to pull the tape off before stamping! Nothing like a pretty stamped word with a colorful inky blob right next to it. :) So, instead of scrapping the whole thing, I decided to stamp on a die cut and hide the evidence!
To make space for the cash, I was careful to place the scor-tape around the perimeter of the tag and made sure I left it open where the "zipper" portion zips off.
Her birthday celebration is today, so hopefully the theory behind the design plays well with reality! :)
