12 Tags of 2014- April...My Break Through

I had a break though!  If you are on Facebook with me you know all about my fear of the Tattered Pinecone Die!  All my hard work, burnt fingers and twisting pays off.   I decided to create a little Easter Inspiration with this months tag!  I followed the tag Tim created...to a point. A lot of the elements are the same with a tweak or two here and there. This is my take on the April Tag.   I had decided early on to use a #10 Tag.  I have been trying to make this for a week!

  I had some mini bunny's left over from the Hippity Hop Luminary's.  I traced the bunny onto some scrap grungeboard then cut it out.

  I covered the bunny with glossy accents then smooshed a handful of Spanish moss.  I trimmed the moss to get the bunny's frame.  I added the smallest tied bow for the bunny bow. 

  I cut the ornate frame and used tumbled glass distress paint.  A perfect frame.

  You can see the splattered ink for the background.  I used tattered rose and milled lavender for my distress paint.

  I have all these frameworks scraps. So I used up those for my tag including a cork frame cut.

  As part of my "tattered pinecone journey" to get to this tag I scooped a bunch flowers I had ready made in my broken cookie jar.  It's getting low.

  I loved having them ready! 

  I also added some garden greenery in bundled sage.  A tag this size I can get away with packing it!

   I think this is my favorite tag so far.  Now that I no longer break into a sweat seeing these tattered pinecones as flowers!   I know my fears and efforts to force myself to make a pretty flower has inspired a lot of you to try making them yourself.  Or go out and buy the die!  I'm excited that my break through inspired you to try too.   I'll be playing in some challenges too!   Simon Says Wednesday Challenge...Animals Tim Holtz  That Craft Place Challenge Blog...Anything goes Easter   Thanks as always for taking the time to share your thoughts.  I love the feed back!
