For this week's "No Cards" project I decided to share something I made quite some time ago but never paid much attention to nor posted here on my blog. I love this image and thought it would be funny to have it adorn our guest bathroom door, where it has gotten quite a few giggles over the years....

For my tag I used the new "Kaleidoscopes" collection from Hunkydory. I love coloring so this collection is so much fun! The images come pre die cut with all the layers so you just color them in and pop the layers up with some foam tape and voila! There are silver, gold and black outline options for each image. I used my Tonic Nuvo markers for all the coloring. This kit also comes with several pages of coordinating sentiments like the one I used here.

If you've never experienced Hunkydory, I highly highly recommend that you do. I don't get any compensation or recognition or anything for promoting them.... I just truly believe they are the best out there as far as quality and their prices are insanely reasonable for the amount of product you get. I have several of their collections/kits and I love them all! To my knowledge, the only site that sells this particular kit is Create and Craft. They also have a huge selection of other Hunkydory products. It is my favorite site at the moment. Anyway, hope you enjoy my tag!....

I made this card for a friend who recently had a death in her family. I wanted to keep with the Fall color palette but not have it be too dark and depressing. Basically, I wanted it to be respectful but yet still have a brightness about it. I photographed it outside on a lovely Fall day, which I think brings a nice levity to it....
