a tag for mother's day .....

Hello my friends. Today i'm back with a card that i was commissioned to make.


It started with a tag that I cut out of thick card and inked with distress paints, peacock feathers, tarnished bronze and frayed burlap. Once dry I inked with versamark and clear embossed. i repeated this 3 times adding some turquoise frantage and some frantage glitter on third layer. I added 2 more layers of clear embossing to encapsulate all the fragments. 


Whilst it was still warm I stamped the Stampendous image into it, I had previously inked it with black archival.
O a separate piece of card I stamped butterfly, twice, from same set and clear embossed them. I then coloured it using same paints as tag. I cut them out and decoupaged the wing for some added dimension.
For he background on basecard, I inked stamp with corresponding distress inks and stamped it randomly.
Sentiment is embossed and it is from Claritystamp.
Finally I added several ribbons to tag and mounted it onto base card.

I do hope you like it. My friend was very happy with it, Theresa xx
