Mixed Media Tag-Live Your Dream



I made my tag adding designer paper first, and then stenciling the background with a floral swirl stencil using texture paste. I then spraying pink bubble gum ink over the stenciling. I covered that over with paper and sprayed calypso teal ink on the other side of tag.
Using Tim Holtz stamps and the same inks (my DIY ink pad) for the sentiments and butterfly.
Butterfly was fussy cut and glitter was added. (which the pic is not showing the pretty glitter)
Tied a pink string bow around tag and adhered with tacky glue. Other elements are from my stash.
