Butterfly Tag

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all fit and well and not to wet and windblown, it's still very windy in my part of the country but at least the rain has stopped for the time being.
I'd like to share with you one of the tags that I made for the Paperplay January tag swap.


The background for the tag is one of my Gelli prints. I stamped some butterflies [stamps unknown] with peacock feathers and spiced marmalade Distress ink then I stamped some twiggy things [stamps unknown] up the sides with black Archival and then added some tissue tape to the bottom. I stamped the main image [Paperbag Studio] onto white card and coloured it with distress inks using a water brush, I cut the image out and adhered it to the card. The sentiment was stamped onto vellum and attached to the tag with staples.
