Doodle Holiday

I mentioned yesterday that Wendy Vecchi's new Christmas in July release from Ranger features TWO new seasonal MAKE ART Stamp Sets; but yesterday's card only used Doodle Christmas; so today let's take a look at Doodle Holiday! I started out with the intention of making a Christmassy, paper-pieced tag in shades of bright green and hot pink, with the super-cute birdie as the star of the show. But midway through, I realized that as wonderful as the holiday aspect of this set is... you can actually use it all year round, for pretty much ANY occasion. So I went kind of neutral on that front.

I did paper-piece most of my elements though; stamping the bird, birdhouse, swag of greens and holly leaves on scraps of patterned paper, then cutting them out and embellishing them a bit with markers. I stamped the doodle stars in three groupings on a #8 Tag and colored them; then arranged all the elements, adhering some of them flat to the tag with Perfect Card Adhesive, and popping a few up on Letter It Clear Foam Tape. Et voila!

PS: The staging for these photos is composed of scattered sheets from Dina Wakley Typed Ledgers Set 2, which technically have nothing to do with the project; but they make quite a nice background, don't you think?
