For my piece I decided on a tag and stamped the Stampendous Agapanthus Cluster with Versamark and heat embossed with White EP, the Tim Holtz sentiment also got the same treatment. I then did some whitewash stamping using Picket Fence Distress Stain, for this I used a TH Floral Swirl stamp. Distress inks Chipped sapphire, Wild honey, Forest Moss and Seedless Preserve were blended over ( I know it looks a bit brown in the photo, but there was no brown used) I then spritzed with water and wiped over the whole tag with a damp tissue to remove the ink from the white stain and embossing. I made a background using just the whitewash stamping method with the same inks. My ribbons were randomly inked with the inks, and spritzed to soften the colours.

This tag is definitely an Avril one. Gorgeous colours, soft and sweet images, floaty swirls and very very pleasing to the eye.
