Bits and Pieces

Here's a tag for Hels Sunday Stamper week 214 where the challenge is to use BITS and PIECES or EMBELLIES to be more precise!!

Well again I wasn't sure what to do and with Dave Clark Five in my head,  I went with a Bits and Pieces background then added Bits and Bobs.   I rummaged through my card bit box and took out anything that was purpley, stuck them to some watercolour paper and then painted over this with Paperartsy Fresco Finish in Orchid mixed with some Snowcap Dabber. 

I cut it into a tag shape and used some Square Palette stamps (from Oak House Studio) with Dusty Concord Distress Ink and Snowcap Dabber to add to the geometry!   I've also used a little Milled Lavendar Distress Stickles.

Next a rummage in another bit box for embellies - some fibres, flowers, a button, some bead string, mirror mosaic tiles and some bobbles off christmas crackers!  It's just finished with a Hero Arts sentiment stamped with Dusty Concord onto a painted scrap of card. 

It was a difficult one to photo as it's gone dark and raining again and I was having trouble with the flash on the shiny bits.  For some reason the white looks a bit green too.  Never mind, it does look better in real life - thank you for taking the time to look!!
