DICC Time!

It's time for another Desert Islands Crafters Challenge!  This time around our sponsor is The Stamping Chef and my image of choice is Tabitha.  She's so soft and girly looking that I had to find papers that matched her femininity.  Instead of a card, I chose to create a tag.  I'm thinking I might just use the finished tag on the cover of a journal; I really like the completed project!  Our itinerary for this week is as follows:

1.  Lots of pink

2.  Sugar skulls

3.  Suckers or sweets (lollipops or candy)

4.  Hearts

5.  Add a feather or wings

6.  Pearls or gemstones

7.  Add a banner or bunting

8.  Stitching (real or faux)

9.  Anything but a card

10.  Spritzes or sprays

For my project, I've used #'s 1, 4, 6, 7 and 9:
