Here is my card for today's Crafty Secrets Challenge hosted by Pammyjo. The challenge today is "Totally Tags". Here I have used one of CS (summertime) images and adhered it to a tag and inked the edges/added fibers. I also hand wrote my sentiment using mini tags which also have inked edges. The seashells were cut out and popped up using dimensionals. Hope you like it!
If you like vintage style and TONS of fun, you really need to join in on this weekly challenge. The theme changes from week to week and we have "clues" given on the prior Monday. GREAT fun ... here's the link: Forums at Splitcoaststampers

OMG talk about Bathing BEAUTIES and of course horizonal stripes are always so flattering. Love that image Darlene! Great use of the tags...very clever using the 3 for the sentiment. I love the added touch of the blue fiber and the translucent look of the soaring birds.
Thanks so much for sharing the link!

I absolutely love what you have done to highlight this fun image. That poof of blue adds to the whimsical feeling of the card and the gulls and shells complete the whole look. Fantastic card, Ethel oops, Darlene!

What a fun card! That image always makes me smile and you've set it up perfectly Darlene - the birds and shells are perfect additions and the DP looks great, picks up the stripy bathing suits without being too in your face. Great job!

HI Darlene,
Just peeking between packing boxes...this card reminds me of my mother's scrapbook when I was a kid. The colors, the textures...so beach vintage. Great Job!
