I had fun with this because I rarely work with just one color - and I love green! On a tag made of water color paper, I sprayed a thin layer of a light bright green. After that, I used alcohol ink in a deeper green to deepen areas of the tag. Next I stamped the tag with a deep green ink using a stamp that has a vein-like appearance. Last, I used markers and drew a dandelion - yes a weed, but such a pretty lacy weed. I think it turned out well but later decided to emboss it to add some depth. I didn't like it quite as much after embossing it, so I was glad that I took the first pictures, too. You choose which you like more.

Love both of them, but the first one takes my vote, although I love the second too! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! I like both before and and after the embossing effect.
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for the top tag because I like lighter green better, but both are really nice. Great use of one color!
ReplyDeleteI like the process you went through and I too prefer the first one :0)
ReplyDeleteBoth tags are great but my favourite is the first one. Some times less is more.
ReplyDeleteI like the original one like you. Also thanks for telling us how you did it. I must investigate some of the techniques people use more.

Gorgeous...love the embossed effect.. but my fav is the first..... simply lovely... Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteI vote for the first one too! Both gorgeous though, Carolyn x
ReplyDeleteBoth are very beautiful, but I think the first one does it for me! I think the paler colours suit the delicacy of the dandelion. Lovely, lovely work.
ReplyDeleteYep, the first one gets my vote as well, love the airiness of it.
ReplyDeleteLove them both but the non-embossed one gets my vote too!
ReplyDeleteI love both two! and I love the dandelion clock stamp x
ReplyDeleteThese are so delicate, hard to see the embossing effect in the photo but it adds some depth.
ReplyDeleteBoth are great, but the first one wins for me, Jane xx
ReplyDeleteYes, the first one gets my vote as well, but love 'em both.. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I would have a hard time choosing.

I love the dandelion seedhead, so delicate, which is why I must say that is the reason I prefer the original tag
