This weeks Paper Cutz Challenge was to do a baby layout, project, craft or card in green, yellow and orange.

This is an acrylic tag card with a large B cut out of  DVCW’s Fun in the Sun pack.  I cut the tag card out with my Cricut Expression using the Tag, Bag and More cart.  The tag  is 4″ wide and 5.5″ high.  The pattern paper is orange and green. 

Acrylic cards are difficult to get a picture where you can see all the details, so be sure and click on the pictures to get a closer view.  The green flower color looks off in the picture because of the shadow on it; however, the colors all blend and compliment each on the tag in “real life”.

The edge of the tag has been inked (or should I say painted) with Adirondack’s Willow (a light green).  There are rub ons on the outside of the tag and on the inside in white.

There are three little rectangles that have been inked using alcohol inks in lettuce and then “ABY” is stamped in white Staz On ink.  The little tags have orange thread tie through them. 

This is a view from the back side of the tag, just to show you that the back side looks as good as the front side.

I cut two B’s out using Sure Cuts A Lot software and my Cricket Expression, with one of them being the mirror image of the other.  The font is Arial, which is a nice clean no frills font. 

Where the tags were attached to the front of the tag I put some Stickles on both the front of the tags and on the inside, too.  This helps conceal where they have been attached and adds another dimension to the inside.

Here is a close up so you can see the rub ons and what the mini-tags look like.  Plenty of Stickles in green, yellow and orange spread around on the tag.

I punched a hole in the top of the tag card and put an eyelet through the hole.  Threaded three strips of ribbon to finish it off.  The flower is three layers orange, yellow polka dot and green with some yellow stickles.  The brad in the flower is orange.

If you look back at the first picture at the bottom of the tag card is the word “Congratulations” written acrossed it.  This was done using a Sakua Souffle pen in yellow.

I’m going to slip a gift card inside this tag card for my Pastors wife, who is expecting.  Hopefully, I can find a gift card that had the colors green, yellow and orange.

If you have questions about the tag or need clarification, be sure and let me know.  I’ll be glad to fill in any gaps.
