August Tag

Using three older but very pretty colours from the spring collection of distress inks Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac.

 I spritzed and flicked with water and distressed the edges before inking them up with DI
 Using the trellis Frameworks die and grunge paper, I painted the frame with Picket Fence, sanded it back and inked it up again.
 The inner parts of the trellis were a mix of corrugated card, canvas, and brayered and embossed grunge paper.
 The butterfly was made up of two die cuts, the one underneath was cut in half and pulled out slightly so you could see the deeper colours underneath.
 A few pearls, inked vintage ribbon bow and rub ons completed the look
 The rub on butterfly looked a little dark when I put it on to the tag, so I simply lightened it up with a few white pen strokes


 The butterfly antennae are painted flower stamen
