Here is my take on the most recent Tag You’re It Challenge (#28) .
I used my new Essentials by Ellen Wish Big stamp set, and the sentiment “A little birdie told me” leaves it open for interpretation – birthday card? congratulations card? I can decide later.
I die cut two different paint chips with the tag die, and layered them to be sky/grass. I used one thread for all of the balloons, rather than having individual strings for the bird to hold.
Here is the inspiration:
Supplies: Stamps – Essentials by Ellen, paper – Glidden paint chip (blue), Heidi Swapp Favorite Things, Pantone paint chip Tender Shoots, Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Real Red, inks – Papertrey Ink Fresh Snow, VersaFine Onxy Black, dies – Essentials by Ellen (bird), Lawn Fawn (tag), Taylored Expressions (balloons), embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear, white, Coats metallic silver thread.

Yayyy for the paint chips! I have a bunch sitting on my shelf, awaiting attention, so thank you for the reminder! Your little bird: too cute! Leaving the sentiment open: great idea! Thank you for sharing this gem in the Tag You’re It gallery!

This is so cute!! I love how the balloons are hooked to each other on that one string. So FUN.

Thanks so much, Nora! The balloons got looped together on one string because I didn’t want to be fighting with 3 strings while assembling (and the bird’s wing gets overwhelmed with multiple strings). Thanks so much for commenting!
