Hello - there's no temptation to go out into the garden today, so before I give in to the urge of getting messy, again, thought I'd show this tag that was made to accommodate the butterfly - yes, I made the butterfly first! I used a combination of Salty Ocean, Cracked Pistachio, and Picked Raspberry and then Rock Candy crackle paint.
Loved the look of it so much I had to make a tag using the same colours, some stencilling, script stamping, flick and spritz, a spray with Dylusions White Linen, which got covered up, embossing paste, Aquamarine Treasure Gold, more Picked Raspberry over the top as that didn't look right, and then the edges distressed with Walnut Stain after being toned down with Faded Jeans, it's a good job these inks all blend with each other. Oh yes, don't forget, a ribbon dyed with Picked Raspberry and Salt Ocean and TH Stuff to Say stamped onto Vellum, as I said everything but the kitchen sink! I am entering this at:

Hope your weather isn't as miserable as ours,
