This is a CASE of an amazing card made by my friend Nancy (What's on my Kitchen Counter).  I only made a few simple changes from her original design, adding in my heated copper (and embossed) ornaments.  Thank you for the inspiration Nancy!!

Guest Designers

Julia (Create with Me) is joining me today with a beautiful, vintage style tag.  Julia makes gorgoeus CAS cards ... and that's how we first got to know each other through Splitcoatstampers.  She continues with CAS cards, but also enjoys working with mixed media ... tags, cards, 3-D projects --- incredible works of art!  Check out her blog to see the full details on how she made the beautiful tag below.

Julia

Oh my gosh, Julia ... I LOVE the vintage style of this tag.  And all the delicious layers on your background.  And is that stenciled micro beads??!!  Beautiful design and texture.  Thanks so much! xx

Also joining me today as Guest Designer is my good friend, Lee-Anne (Creatively LA).  I LOVE her CAS style with added mixed media.  She inspired me to try new things.  She is also what I call "an enabler".  :)  Because of her, my craft room has lots and lots of mixed media products.  Thank You Lee-Anne!!  I have enjoyed every bit of my mixed media journey ... and it all started because of YOU! :)  Lee-Anne has added more and more to her mixed media style and has been influenced by the Finnabair style.  Her projects are STUNNING!  Please stop by her blog to get all the details on how she made this beautiful tag below.

Lee-Anne

All I can say is "WOW!"  Amazing elements ... this is stunning Lee-Anne!
Thank you! xx

And I'm also joined today by Darnell (djkardkreations).  Darnell (aka Dolly -- that's what I call her), needs no introduction.  She is well known in the stamping community ... not only for her beautiful cards, but for her humour and wit.  She is such a special, caring lady!  Dolly has stepped out of her comfort zone to make a mixed media tag for me.  Didn't she do great??!!  Drop by her blog to check out all the details on how she made this beautiful tag below.
