Alison CT - Rainbow Bird Tag

Hi everyone today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating this tag using the rainbow bird and journaling essentials stamp sets with one of the new catalyst collage papers. 

I began by covering a square tag with the catalyst collage paper and then mounting it on black. I re-punched the hole.

On a super skinny slim, I smooshed picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, twisted citron and mermaid lagoon distress ink.

I spritzed this with water. 

I pressed a piece of white card over the ink; applying light pressure to encourage the colours to spread and mix.

I stamped the larger rainbow bird on to this using Versafine Clair nocturne, then cut it out before adding white pen work. I also coloured the beak and feet and orange colour.

Using the smaller firework like stamp and picked raspberry,  carved pumpkin and mermaid lagoon distress ink I added to the catalyst collage paper background. 

Using the rainbow style border and Versafine Clair nocturne, I added some border to parts of the tag.

I added the row of circles stamp to add a pirch for the bird.

I added more stamping to the background using the small circles from journaling essentials 9 with mermaid lagoon; the crosses from journaling essentials 9 with carved pumpkin and the grid from journaling essentials 9 with picked raspberry. 

After gluing the bird in place, I added a sentiment from the Wordy Stickers 3B set.
