Hi all and welcome to my blog. So pleased you stopped by,
It's time for another Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers!!
Angela is our lovely host and the Theme is
'ANYTHING BUT A CARD'
So, as always, you can make anything you like, as long as it is NOT a card this time.
I created a little tag.
The background is from a Masterboard I created a while ago. Found it in my stash and felt it was time to put it to good use.
I used Distress Inks to colour the background but I'm not one hundred percent sure of the colours I used so I'm not going to try to list them. Gesso was used through the Mini Circle Explosion and the Mini Chicken Wire Reversed stencils by TCW. The stamping was done with my fave Arty and Script Stamps by Kaisercraft.
The flowers are from Megs Garden and were coloured with sprays made from watered down acrylic paint and the butterfly was fussy cut from papers by Kaisercraft.
For extra texture I added a diecut, a piece of gauze and an offcut of lace underneath the cluster.
The quote is one I found on the net. Simply printed it on some heavy paper, cut it apart and edged it with Ground Espresso Distress Ink.
Do pop over to the CCM blog and take a peek at the fabulous creations by my Teamies. I am certain you'll be inspired to join in with the Challenge.
