Keeper of my secrets - Always Fun Challenge #175

Monday August 10, 2020

Hello.. Time for another challenge over at 
Always Fun Challenge #175

Our theme this week is MAKE A TAG



This is my tag.. I started my creating a watercolor background but by time I got done so much was missing. I stamped some background graphics in black and used a stencil and inks.. Then went over it with a light coat of gesso.. well there went all of the things I had done.. So then I took a Simon says stencil and texture paste and did the two butterflies.  Once dry they were too white so I took green and teal Ken Oliver powder colors and tapped on the butterflies and spritzed with water. I let that dry. I then added some washi tape and stamped the SS sentiment (thought good if it was in a journal) and went around the edges with Distress crayon. I still wasn't happy with the background so took Stampin up little dots stamp and embossed with gold. Then the butterflies looked to blan so stamped the smaller dots from SU on them and embossed with white sparkle. I figured I better quit while I was ahead so punched a hole and added the ribbon and twine.  I envy people that can create what I was trying to..

    I think you achieved what you set out to do! There is so much depth and texture on your tag. I love the layers and how you added the gold and white dots, and picking out the lime green in the ribbon and washi sets it off perfectly, Cathy x
