I've been playing with my new spring colours distress inks and they are LUSH!!!! As if I need an excuse to get inky with inks, tags and glassene paper ..
I used peacock feathers, shaded lilac and dusty concorde to create the background on the tag, and then flicked water over it to created the puddled effect. Having dried the tasg I distressed the edges with my TH paper distresser. I used glassene paper and alcohol inks to create the shimmery butterflies and cut them out using my TH butterfly die. I stamped the TH sentimet onto the tag (I just love this quote, got to be my fave quote EVER!!), and added pearls, some lace and a charm (that's gone a bit upside down!!)

One of my fav quote stamps. Funnily enough i played with my new distress inks & used that quote on a page in my minibook.
The colours go beautifully together with the dusty concord. Love it!
