A sunshiney day!

My lovely friend Bev was a little older today and so I made her a tag to accompany her suitably craft inspired present. The present was wrapped in black tissue paper and so the tag needed to be quite restrained - I was aiming for sophisticated! 

The tag is made from thick, strong card and I covered it in Snowflake Fresco Finish paint as  abase and then stamped one of Wendy's background stamps in Brushed Pewter Distress Stain randomly on the tag and I swiped the bottle down the sides of the tag to give it a little more colour. Then I stamped the flourishes (oh my! I lurve these flourishes!) and added dots stamped with Tarnished Brass Distress Stain. 

The next stamp was some numbers stamped in Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. I added a sentiment, a treasured Blossom Bucket Floral Button and a little ribbon and it was ready! I really enjoyed making something so 'restrained' - maybe I should do that more often?!
