Create with TLC: "A Walk Through Nature" Blog Hop!

Greetings!

Thanks for taking a break from Super Bowl Sunday and joining us for the Create with TLC "A Walk Through Nature" Blog Hop!  We are so happy to have you here as we stroll through all God's great creations and along the way you will see plenty of inspiration and freebies.   You should have already picked up your first freebie and saw some awe inspiring artwork over at Desire's blog.

Here's your hopping order...
Candy (Me)


Here are my creations...
Nature Tote

Nature Tag
I designed this tag using my Cameo.  I started out with yellow cardstock and designed a butterfly tag.  I used print and cut and layered on the white cardstock.  Lastly I used print and cut to cut out my flowers and matted to a yellow background.  I colored my image using Copics.  I finished it off by stapling ribbon on the top.
Butterfly Card
This card was created by sarting out with a yellow cardbased.  I layered on orange cardstock, which I punched the bottom using Martha Stewart Lace punch.  I created a tile background using the freebie image matted on green cardstock.  I colored the image using Copic markers.  I finished the card with a sentiment from Create with TLC "Be a Butterfly set."  
Nature Plaque
My last project, which is a new medium I have learned, is putting images on ceramic tiles.  I purchased 41/4x41/4 ceramic tiles from my local home improvement store and using Modge Podge I adhered the images on to the tiles.  I then went over the image again with another coat of Modge Podge and finished it off with an acrylic sealer that can be purchased from either Michaels or Joanns.  Using a sentiment from Create with TLC, I cut out the wordart on vinyl using my Cameo and adhered it to the tile.  I did not spray it with the acrylic sealant, because I found it causes the edges of the vinyl to curl.  The handle/hanger was made using wire and pearl beads.  I love how it turned out and it will probably hang on my front door or in the mudroom.

As you can see, I got a bit carried away with this beautiful cosmo flower freebie and ended up created 4 projects.  I wanted to show how versatile this delicate little flower could be any project that you could imagine.
