Green

When I was thinking about the tag for this week a little while ago, I almost panicked. Just GREEN leaves you with so many choices, so many possibilities, I found it really difficult to think of what I might do. But on Sunday, I went to a local boot fair, and on one of the stalls I saw a couple of framed real butterflies, and one of them was the most beautiful emerald green.  That was the lightbulb moment for this week's tag.


Here is my GREEN tag with my selection of beautiful shimmery green butterflies -





I used a couple of green paints on the white tag and then overlaid the tag with that gorgeous parchment paper with the glittery flowers. Spent some time on the net finding green butterflies, printed and cut them out, and made some wire antennae for the larger ones. Bit of green trim for the bottom and thats it, GREEN tag done.
