A tag for March .

Good morning all and thanks for popping in. 

Today I am going to share a tag with you...

I made this for the tag swap that I am in, and I 

have  to say I love joining in , and it is so exciting when each  tag arrives in the post. 

My colour choice is not my usual...

And it is a result of my lovely friend Dee Paramour who challenged me to use 

Colours that I don’t normally use..

I started with an A4 piece of Kraft card and using my Billy Brayer 

I added some white gesso.

Next I used my sizzix tag die...

I added some blue oxide ink , using my moon mask to give extra detail. 

Then I added some flicks of purple Inca gold...

Next I added some stamping , using this  Jamie’s Wildglowers  stamp set from Hobby Art 

I added some black oxide ink to frame the design . 

And then some added colour using my spectrum Noir pencils. 

On the Kraft card I stamped some butterflies in black Archival ink and then 

Watercoloured then with oxide ink and water. 

These are from the Jamie’s Collection butterflies set from Hobby Art. 

I Fussy cut these out and added them to the tag 

Under the butterflies I added some black thread...

I have been doing this a lot recently and I blame Tracy Evans 

I take my inspiration from her fabulous work .

To finish off the design , I added a few drops of glossy Accents , 

I do love the way that they dry. 

I must admit , I love the way that the colours are so chalky ...and the way they look on the Kraft card...

I will certainly be doing this again..

I hope you like it too...

I am off now workshop prep this morning 

and decorating this afternoon...

Have a great day all

Take care everyone

Much love and hugs
