Press some Mowed Lawn Oxide Ink on to a blending mat & spritz with a fine mist of water. Pick up the ink with a small piece of acetate (blank sheet from a stamp set). Place onto a tag repeat to give a mottled effect … 

Repeat this process with Twisted Citron & Rustic Wilderness Oxide inks… 

Stamp one of the larger flower heads, from the Blooming Blooms onto a separate piece of paper, using Versafine Clair Nocturne… 

Sprinkle the image with a clear Embossing Powder, remove excess & heat until molten.. 

To colour the flower I rubbed a little of each of the red/pink Oxides onto my blending mat. I used a paint brush (not too wet) to add water to the flower. Starting with the outer petals & Kitsch Flamingo… 

In the centre I used Festive Berries & added the Picked Raspberry to the petals in between. Finishing with a few spots of Aged Mahogany…

Note: When you’ve finished spritz the ink remaining on the mat with water & ‘smoosh’ a piece of paper onto it. Save this for later… 

Add some Mowed Lawn ink through the small hexagonal D’Inkable…

Stamp two of the large coffee stains in Versafine onto the tag… 

Add a few more of the smaller Coffee Stain stamps on to the tag… 

There’s a little squiggly line on the Blooming Blooms stamp set & I added a few to the background… 

Choose a sentiment from the Small Words & stamp onto the ‘smooshed’ card. Cut it out & mat on to some black card… 

Stamp the small numbers on on this card too & cut them out… 

Add all the elements created to your tag & doodle some stitch lines around the edges. Finish by adding some ribbon… 

Thank you for stopping by … Ann xxx
