A New Monthly Challenge




 Having completed the Alphabet Challenge last month we have decided to start a new monthly challenge featuring tags. There are no major rules  - just to have fun. This month the theme is Orange.

I wanted to use my new Stamps By Me Lily stamp and die set and also my Glimmer Mist (decanted) spray in perfect peach. My tags are all going to be 14cm x 8cm.

The dies don't cut out the whole of the lily so I fussy cut the remaining parts and pruned one of the buds off  because it didn't fit. The base of the tag was sprayed with Glimmer Mist over a Tim Holtz stencil called Scribbles (although it looks more like roses to me). I edged the tag with crackling campfire DO and then used watery Twinkling H2Os in ginger peach and golden jade to make splatters over the tag. I lined the tag hole with some washi tape and also punched some photo corners.

The 2-step die was first stamped with Archival tangelo (I wiped the ink off the leaves) and then the detail with Versafine onyx black. I coloured the leaves and stamens with Coloursoft pencils and mounted the image on foam tape for dimension.

The text is from the same set and comes with its own shadow die. It was too long to fit so I cut it in half. I finished with some sequins, a couple of punched dragonflies and some ribbon.
