Hi there, a new month and a new challenge from sally - wings . So for my blog this week I have some inspiration for you . My first thought was to use the Doodle art dragonfly , one of my favourite stamps , but then I came across the Doodle Art ladybird !
My first step was to cut a large tag and create a smooshed base colour with 3 distress inks ,I used Mowed Lawn , Seedless Preserves and Picked Raspberry .
On top of this I added some stencilling with the string of pearls Big One Inkable using Distress inks Tumbled Glass and edged the whole tag with the darker blue Distress ink BluePrint sketch .
Using some of the smaller stamps from the Doodle Art Ladybird and Mowed Lawn and Blueprint Sketch, I added to my background .
Going back to my background I added some doodling with white and pink Posca pens and loosely coloured the small stamped flowers .
After cutting out the the ladybirds I added some white details with a white gel pen , and in my bit box found these leaves from the Art stamp set Journaling Essentials 7 and as they were the perfect colours I decided to incorporate them into my design .
Here is my finished tag with all of the elements glued down and a sentiment added from the Ticker Tape 3 wordage stamp set. My tag was mounted on to black card and a white dotted border added and some colourd ribbon was the finished touch .
So this tag is a little different than the norm , probably not the first winged creature you think of or the typical colours but I am really pleased with how it turned out .
Thank you for taking a look and please remember to share your makes in the Bee Crafty face book page and have a go at this months challenge.
Happy crafting
