The images are all cut from the coordinating dies.  The purple polkadot pattern paper is from MFT's itsy-bitsy polkadots paper pack.  Accent dies are from MFT's  Blueprints Tag Builder No. 6 set. I. used one of the dies and shortened the paper by cutting off the end with the die. The second is from Blueprints No. 28. I shaded the top white card stock with distress inks.
