Gone All Flowery

OOpps nearly didn't make this weeks project for Through The Purple Haze in time. Busy doing other things, but I want to be in with a chance of that fabulous prize at the end of the year so I had to squeeze something in. Anything with flowers is the challenge this week. I'm on a personal mission of using as many of my rarely used stamps at the moment, flowers do not feature much in my collection but I do have these gorgeous Paper Artsy ones. I made a tag following the requirements of Dragon's Dream - Tag It On of stencils and/or masks, paint and ribbon.



The tag base is made from some kraft coloured card in my stash. First, using a flowery stencil, some rusty hinge DI, then moved the stencil just a bit and stippled some copper paint through it. Some more distress inks in orange marmalade, wild honey and squeezed lemonade were sponged on. The flowers were stamped onto yellow card using adirondack "latte" before fussy cutting out and more distress inking.
Some ribbon "stalks" added before attaching to the tag. Some of the swirl detail was picked up with more copper paint.

 The words are from the "Time" set from Visible Image. Stamped onto more of the yellow card, sponged with DI and torn out.

A few tiny gems and a matching ribbon tie (it is a tag after all)

Finished - with just a couple of hours to spare.

Thanks for visiting
