Grace .....

This 5.5 x 3 inch tag was made for a monthly swap over on UK Stampers Forum ......

The background was made with watercolours with plenty of water. It was decorated with a number of stamps inked with Versafine Clair, Brilliance and Versafine inks. The leaves (Aall & Create) at the bottom I coloured with a waterbrush and Distress ink. Some printed vellum numbers were also added. The background was then attached to a base made from re-cycled food packaging.

The flower image was stamped in Distress inks on white card with a homemade foam stamp made from fun foam and a Tim Holtz wild flower die, trimmed out and added as shown. It was edged with a shadow added with Distress aged mahogany applied with a waterbrush. A couple of gold vellum leaves were added also.

The words are made of Washi Tape (Aall & Create) on white card, they were trimmed out and edged with black before applying as shown. The whole tag was edged with maroon chalk ink.

An eyelet was added at the top with the crop-a-dile and tied through with some decorative chiffon ribbon to finish .....
