I have noticed that many in Blogland are suffering from what I'm going to refer to as 'Lost Mojo-Itus'.
It does seem to be reaching pandemic proportions, doesn't it?
I think that the cold and a lack of sunlight affect many of us far more than we realise.
So with that in mind, perhaps my tag card for today's new Tag You're It challenge is paying homage to what so many of us seem to be missing...
It's a simple offering that shows just how easy it can be to make a tag into a card.
A bird stamped on vellum, some sparkle from the ink used (and a pen) plus a tiny gem and clear embossed sentiment just give this a little something extra to add visual interest whilst still keeping to a clean look.
Where did my inspiration come from?
Let me show you...
I was inspired by the colour scheme but wanted softer, gentler colour tones for my design. As you can see, I also stuck with the heart and animal theme but swapped out the cute critter for a bird.
And for those of you who haven't seen it (inspiration can be a funny thing like that. For some it's obvious, yet for others it's anything but) Lisa's 'tag on a tag' has become a 'tag on a card'.
