Butterfly Tag

 Cheremane here with you today, let me take you for a walk through a Victorian Garden with some stunning new IndigoBlu goodies.

I started with a little resin frame I had in my stash and painted it with the New Junk and Disorderly paint Olive Waistcoat.

I mixed 1 part paint to 4 parts water to make a spritz with Warm Tan, another of the new paint colours, then spritzed a Junk and Disorderly tag and let it dry before stamping one of the sentiments from the new Victorian Garden stamp set. I added some Steam Whistle paint eekkk another new colour to some phat foam.

 I then used the Steam Whistle and the phat foam to stamp the lovely grasses from Victorian Garden stamp set. Stamping with the Indigoblu paints is so effective but make sure you clean your stamp straight away.

I added some of the Warm Tan to phat foam and stamped one of the butterflies from Victorian Garden, I also spritzed the paper roses with the Warm Tan and Olive Waistcoat paint to coordinate with the other elements.

To finish off I edged the tag with Steam Whistle then I attached the roses and butterfly with glue gel, added some green micro beads and some grey ribbon. There we have it a beautiful Victorian Garden walk.

Thank you so much for stopping by be sure to pop back again soon to be inspired by the team.

Waiting for Mr Darcy.....

Hi there it's Elizabeth here with another page from my Junk and Disorderly Journal. Jane is daydreaming of Mr Darcy with thoughts flying around her head like birds.

I started by stamping the lace from the Mr Darcy Stamp Set across the bottom of a Bockingford tag,  using Versamark ink, Wow fine black embossing powder, and heating it. Once cool I trimmed across the edge to create a scalloped finish.

I carried on adding more stamping and built up a design using Jane and also the birds. These were also embossed.

I coloured Jane and the rest of the tag, using a selection of the gorgeous Luscious Powders leaving each colour to dry completely before adding another, otherwise the colours would blend together like watercolours.

Whilst the tag was on one sie drying out, I stamped out a background using the Lace stamp, this time using a black Versafine ink. I added splatters of Cinderella Metallic  paint, and created a shelf for the tag to sit on using a piece of bright pink Sari Silk.

I added more of the same Pink Sari Silk to the tag, before adding it onto the journal page.

To finish off the page I added more birds, die cut from a Tim Holtz strip die.

So Jane sitting pretty in her pink silk gown is dreaming of Mr Darcy, his velvet brown eyes, broad shoulders and handsome good looks, will he call on her, I wonder..................
