Golden Flourish's

Hi everyone hope you are all well! I have for you today

a tag which  falls into the Challenge title which is 

'Summer is on its way'. Why not play along 

with us this month.

My tag today has been created by using the following Artistic

 Stamper Stamps, Flourish background, insects and

 butterflies & calligraphy mat 12.

I used the thinlets die to cut the shapes into a craft tag.

I had coloured a piece of card with adirondack washes 

then sprayed lightly with water to blend.

Next I tripple embossed using two coats of gold embossing powders 

and one of clear utee. I then stamped the flourish

stamp into the hot embossing powder.

I coloured the die cut craft tag with distress ink which I blended 

of the craft mat.  I spritzed with water to activate it.

Next I sprinkled gold embossing powder over it and heat set

from underneath to stop it blowing away.

I sprayed gently picket fence distress stain spray over that.

I used the same method to make the butterfly but I stamped it twice

and then built the butterfly up. Alcohol ink was

applied till I was happy

with the result.

Next I used glossy accents in the die cuts to highlight area's prior

to it drying fully I lightly sprinkled gold embossing

 powder & heat set. 

I matted it to lime green card then black I hope you have all 

enjoyed my post today and feel inspired to join 

with us this month in our challenge. 

As always I would love to know 

what you think.
