Mix Media Tag with Flowers


I made this mix media a tag for a upcoming tag exchange at Yahoo Group,  Inky Fun Stampers.  The theme of the challenge was flowers and I chose to use a stamp by Penny Black for the tag. 

I cut out my tag using the tag die from Tim Holtz and used distress inks and water to create my muted background. The image was stamped on a slant on the tag.  To add some colour to the image is used markers.  Next I stamped the image a second time on some Gelli print paper  from my stash and cut out the butterfly to give it some depth.  To complete my tag I sprayed it with Goose Bumps for a wet effect and added a glittery ribbon from my stash.  

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. 

I am entering  my tag in the following challenges:

    I love the colors on your tag, and the addition of the butterfly is visiting the flowers adds some realistic dimension!

    I also really like the shininess of your tag and am thrilled to read you achieved the look with Goose Bumps. I found a bottle of it on the clearance rack at Michaels or Joannes and picked it up because it was so cheap, but had no idea what it is. Now I know! Can't wait to try it now.

    Thank you for sharing your Spring - Anything but a Card project with us at Cut it Up!
