  53. I just love both of your projects. I love the sun rays you added in for texture but I also love all the color. Who doesn't love the newer Tim Holtz distress ink colors? They are amazing. Which is probably why I like the tag so much. I've been wanting to get my hands on some of the hero arts neon inks for the longest time. After seeing this cool tag I may just have to do that. Thanks for the great tutorial. Can't wait to give it a try myself.

  54. I love video tutorial because you always learn something new. Great card !

  55. Gorgeous card and tag, JJ. Thanks for the tutorial. When I've scored a design like that I've certainly done it the difficult way and it didn't even turn out. LOL. Love the pin and rotating the cardstock. I will remember your tip about when the card needs something it could be the lack of texture. Thanks, JJ.
