CCM #252 Spring

Our challenge today at Crafty Cardmakers is Spring.

I have created a tag. I started with some mixed media paper from Daler Rowney and cut it out with Graphic 45’s Staples Large Tag, ATC and Flowers die. The back layer, which I coloured to match the colours in the image is a tag from a set of tags from Graphic 45 designed to match their dies.

I stamped Studio Light’s flower stamp from their Grunge range and then inked the background with Distress Oxides in Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Squeezed Lemonade. I stamped the image again and embossed it with clear powder and then coloured it with DIs in Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet. I fussy cut it out to add over the top of the original image.

I purposefully chose this particular stamp because of the sentiment. I feel that at the moment we all need to stand tall, or rather try to be strong in these vary difficult times! I picked out the letters of the sentiment with Dr. Martin’s Bleedproof Ink in white. It’s one of the few whites that I find actually remain white over most paints, inks etc.

The little dragonfly dies are from John Next Door and the ribbon is from my stash. I then splattered some of the bleed proof ink to finish if off.

I am entering this into:-
