I used some Distress Inks in several different colors and smeared them on the tag. After misting some water on it, I then used a stencil and did that up in green with a dauber - sorta at an angle. After all was dry I stamped the sentiment and then misted with some Glimmer Mists. The flower was cut out using a Tim Holtz die on some patterned paper and then it was also distressed and sprayed with Glimmer Mist. The center brad is from SU. This sucker really shines but you can't see it in the photo. Lastly I added a tiny little butterfly to match the sheer ribbon.
I kept wanting to stick it on a card - and everything I'd put it on just wasn't looking right........so, here's a tag all by it's little lonesome!
Thanks for stopping by.......

Hi Lynn. I kinda like this. It isn't your usual style or mine either, but we need to do something different now and then just for fun! It would be beautiful adorning a plain gift bag! Great job!
Whoa...what a gorgeous tag,
Lynn!!!! The background looks beautiful with the stencil and all the misting and I love the layered flower!!!!
Good for you for stepping outside your normal routine and doing a bang up job of it, Lynn! These tags are really huge in the UK and they just stand alone. Yours could stand right next to any of them! Well done!! Hugs, Darnell
Woo!Hoo! So glad you left your comfort zone for this one!! This is gorgeous with all of the wonderful inky colors!!
