Today's card was a bit of an experiment for me. I wanted to make a tag which I could then use on the front of a card. I thought I'd make is soft and feminine to give to my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. Here's the card I came up with.
To make the tag I cut some watercolour paper to the size I wanted and then used my Aqua Painter to give it a light wash of Blushing Bride ink and a sponge dauber to ink the edges. I then stamped the text stamp from Strength & Hope over the tag in Blushing Bride ink, and finally stamped the Hope image and some butterflies in Sahara Sand ink. I then stamped 2 more butterflies in Blushing Bride ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and painted selected bits with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint. I also painted the H with the shimmer paint. I used Dimensionals to adhere the butterflies to the tag.
The base of the card was stamped with the flourish and small flower from Baroque Motifs. I also painted the small flowers with the shimmer paint.
