On my own Facebook Group The Joy of Sets we run monthly swaps. Last month's swap was a butterfly tag. This is mine which will be winging its way over the pond to the US. I hope my recipient likes it.
I started off with one of Tim Holtz large tag dies which is the perfect size for tags. I added some Distress Oxide Spray in Antique Linen, Speckled Egg and Victorian Velvet. VV is one of my most favourite TH colours and I use it quite a lot - I have it in all his mediums lol!
I then added some stamping from Woodware Expressions set by Francoise Read called Three Butterflies. It's one whole stamp but I just used parts of it - not using a block just my fingers to get the parts I wanted. I also used some of the stamps from Alison Bomber's set for Eclectica by Paper Artsy called Rosemary Edition.
I added some butterfly ribbon I had in my stash and used a Tim Holtz die for the large butterfly. This was cut out of some gel press collage paper I had done and fitted the colour scheme. It was made with Distress Mica Stain in Tart Cranberry.
I'm adding this into the following challenges:
