My chosen insect for this week's theme is my very favourite one: a butterfly. I love to see them in the garden ... but I have to admit some of them can be a bit of a pest as well ... but with all the beautiful colours and the pretty sight who can be angry for long?
I created this tag quite a while ago and it is a bit of an experimental one: I covered the basic tag with crinkled sewing pattern tissue paper, coloured it with various chalks and ribbed off the tissue paper around the basic tag. I added some gesso to the middle of the tag, spread some watercolour paint on the table and dropped the tag onto the paint. The butterfly and the sentiment (both Darkroom Doors stamps) were stamped with blue acrylic paint, the lines were created with acrylic paint using atracing wheel. As embellishments I added some little blings, some wooden beads and a little chiffon ribbon.
