Alison CT - I wish you saw what I see

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a tag created using Journaling Essentials stamps, Texture Discs, Wordy Stickers and the colours from the Bee Crafty Palette week 3. I find looking back at the different palettes can stimulate ideas for my makes.

To begin, I smooshed fossilized amber distress oxide on to a blending mat.  I spritzed this with water,  then dubbed my tag in to it. I dried this, then repeated twice more.

Next, I blended peeled paint distress oxide through one of the texture discs from set 4.

Then, I blended uncharted mariner distress oxide through one of the texture discs from set 2.

I added a faux stitched border to the tag using an orange micron pen. 

After that, I stamped the dangling leaves, from Journaling Essentials 9, on the top and bottom of the tag.  I used tumbled glass distress oxide to do this.

I, then, glued the tag to a piece of black card. 

Next, I used Versafine Clair nocturne to stamp two of the long stem/leaf like stamp on to a piece of card, using the second generation ink to stamp it directly on to the tag. 

Then, I stamped two of the flower on to separate card.  

Whilst waiting for the ink to dry, I added the small crosses stamp to the background of the tag.

I coloured the separate images and those on the tag using fossilized amber,  peeled paint and carved pumpkin distress watercolour pencils. I then cut the separate images out. I added white posca pen to the images.

I glued these to the tag, using foam pads for the flower and its centre.

Finally,  I added a Wordy Sticker sentiment, which I drew a border around using the orange micron pen.
