New challenge for tags!

Good morning! It's a beautiful sunny Winter's day on Melbourne! I should be outside , but I had the urge to make a tag for the new challenge Tag You're it! I missed the 1st one, but I'm very excited, because I love making tags! This week the tag they have an amazing tag from the uber talented Laura Bassen as our inspiration.



The tag is a cutie from Papertrey Ink and I broke out my new mini stencils from Heidi Swapp to make the background. After I stencilled the background, I spritzed it with water to activiate the distress ink and give it more of a watercolour effect. The bird stamp is my new favourite from hero Arts (I've been eyeing it off for a while and succumbed to temptation) and the flowers are cut with a Memory Box die.

    Absolutely beautiful. Your tags stood out from the gallery, love this one a lot... love the detail of combining the little pearls with the ribbon.
