April Tag

I am loving this Stampers Anonymous quote set at the moment, I think this one is just so true, don't you?



I have used lots of distress paints and colours to create the background, spritzing and smooching.  I love the distress paints as they keep their colour so perfectly and don't go muddy.
I made a butterfly in Clearly for Art, although I notice the one I finally used isn't the one in the picture, I chose one with more detail hoping it would show up more. If you haven't used this yet, I would definitely recommend a play.
I found the white distress stain to be great for stamping just that extra bit of detail.
The flowers were punched from card and metal card and the '4' at the top of the tag is from the packaging of the Tim Holtz tape ribbon - how lucky is that!
 
I am entering this tag into the following challenges:-
 
Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2013
Penny Black and More - Blossoms and Bows
Simon Says Stamp - Happy Birthday - 4

    I actually ordered those sentiments last week Rosie and looking forward to using them.

    I love the fusion of colours on your tag and how you have built up the flowers and little elements of interest around them.

    I'm so pleased you shared your lovely work without at Penny Black and More challenge this month.
