It's so fun to start another year illustrating stamp sets for Papertrey Ink. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that I was given a few years back to even try. As I look back I am excited to see some growth too. All of that wouldn't matter at all if it weren't for you, the customers, that purchase the sets. So please accept a huge Thank You from me to you! Thank you for embracing my style, my quirky illustrations and sometimes silly sentiments, for creating incredible artwork of your own using my sets and even getting them published! THANK YOU!
So the illustrators all created beautiful tag images to share with you today, for free! Mine is a modern style tag that I drew with a few hearts on it. I omitted a sentiment so that it would be more versatile for you too.
I thought I would use my little dash heart from Just For You and this sweet sentiment from On My Couch.
I went to town coloring this tag image. I used my Copic Markers to color everything in. Thirteen in total and it was a blast!
Hearts are sometimes hard to draw for me. Each style can really reflect something different. Taller, skinny hearts tend to be whimsical, folk art-ish. Really round one are cute.. Modern ones are the hardest for me to define, but I really am pleased with how these turned out. :)
Here are the tags so that you can create your own project! Download PTI Anniversary Tag Download-1
I also wanted to welcome Maile to the illustrators team! I am SO excited to see what she creates! Nichole has another wonderful contest going on over on her blog... so make sure to stop by there to enter!
As far as whats coming for this year? I have some really fun and innovative sets... a few that are unique in that I haven't seen anything like them out there, yet. LOL! Not much of a clue... but I know you will love them!!!
Thanks for poppying by friends!
