12 Tags of 2012 - April

I just loved Tim's April tag! The bird hanging over the edge and set affront the reflections image...brilliant, he certainly is! I wish I had the reflections stamp he used, but I didn't...yes shocking, I know....so I improvised. I used Wendy's letter image stamp, and just stamped it directly to the tag. It's sort of cheating I guess, but I also didn't have the texture fade I wanted either, since I use jumbo tags. I needed one to fit, and this Frame was all I had. I also wanted the blue in the bird to pop, so I added more blue extras.

I am also submitting this tag to Simon Says Stamp & Show's challenge of "favorite word", and the Sunday Stamper's challenge of "summer colors".
