TAGplorations May "Things with Wings" Challenge



Here is my tag with punched butterflies out of alcohol ink on Yupo paper scrap!

Here is another sample made at our recent Retreat in BC.

Susan lead this technique.  Stamped open flower stamp from Rubbernecker: 
"Sketch Poppies 909"
onto Strathmore Bristol CS.  Used Susan's Faber-Castell Pencil Crayons with Gamsol and stumps to blend the beautiful colors.  

The size of the sketch poppies fit perfectly in my large CUTplorations Luggage Tags 
Nesting  Die.  I then found these pretty alcohol ink on Yupo paper punched butterflies
in my stash. The colors matched perfectly...love that!

Next placed tag in MISTI and stamped my PB "Happy Snippets" sentiment.

Added SU Calypso Coral Seam Binding and Twine and then Signo White Gel pen
to the center of the flowers.  Done..a pretty and easy project:-)

You will be seeing more finished projects from our fun and creative retreat
in the very near future:-)  Enjoy...

    Those poppies are so fun and colorful! Your pencil coloring is very vivid and the butterflies certainly are a perfect color match. Looks like some very cool backgrounds you cut the butterflies from, too.
