Skiing Holiday Flip-It

Good Morning Ladies,
I am recovering from my trip. I have started making cards with my new goodies. I don't quite have one of those ready yet but soon.
The card for today is Skiing Holiday Flip-It
This card was created using a Sizzix flip-it die. The background card stock is from a DCWV pad. The skier is from an old CTMH wood mounted set. He was stamped on watercolor paper and colorized with watercolors. He was then cut with a scalloped circle die that was included in the flip-it set. The sentiment is from the Stamps of Life.
This is the flip side of the card. The sentiment is from the same Stamps of Life set.

Tags

Good Morning Ladies,
The weather has cooled off. It is fall I think. Hoodie weather. My season!
The project for today is tags.
 This tag was created using a Lavina unicorn image. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz. The background was sprayed with ink sprays. The edge was done with a gold sharpie.
This tag was created using a CTMH clear set. The images were stamped in Archival ink and the tag was stippled with orange dye ink.
The background of this tag was created using the left over paint from a Gel Press pull. I don't know the company of the giraffe. The flower was created with flower punches.
This tag was created using Sheena Douglass images. The sun was created with the Tim Holtz round tool and acrylic paint. The sky was stippled in with blue dye ink. The kite was colorized with watercolors.
