The background is a mix of Vintage Photo and Old Paper Distress Inks and Walnut Stain Re-inker spritzed with water and mopped up. I have to say this came out a whole lot darker than I intended but I love it - who says brown is dull!!
I just blended on some Broken China and Stormy Sky around the edges and then went searching for a big butterfly stamp to maybe create a moth!! Didn't have one so just added some ribbon and a Tim Holtz sentiment from his Stuff to Say set.
Thanke for looking!!
Hi Elaine. Love the contrast of colours in this tag. The background almost looks like Tortoise Shell. Brown is certainly not dull! Sx
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing dull about the brown on this tag Elaine, I love it and it really sets the wonderful blue sentiment off beautifully. Anne x
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anne - this couldn't be further from dull if it tried! In fact this just sums up 'distress' in one beautiful package.
