I die-cut a tag, painted it with gesso, dry embossed it and then coloured it with Gelatos. The reason I used the gesso, is because I find it makes it easier to blend the Gelatos.
Then I stamped the butterflies and coloured them with a combination of watercolour paint, Inktense pencils and distress markers. I fussy cut them and the covered them with glossy accents and left to dry for a few hours.
I've use a but of thread for the antennae.
I stamped the sentiment and cut up to place on the tag.
My next decision was whether to add bling, but decided on splatter!
So I've definitely used a mixture of media and I hope you like it!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Now go on over to MMCC to see what the rest of the design team have created - I'm sure you'll be inspired!
I am entering this card in the Simon Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge.
