Week 25 - 52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge 2017

I hope you have been managing to keep cool in the heat the past few days.  The weather certainly seems to have slowed my crafting mojo.

Here is the prompt for Week 25 - Make A Wish

I have been playing with Distress Inks for the background of this tag, using two colours (Picked Raspberry and Twisted Citron).  I spritzed the tag with water so that the colours washed into each other a little.  

I used a Viva Decor Grunge stamp to create the circle effect at the top of the tag, again using a Distress Ink, this time in Crushed Olive.  The "Make A Wish" sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set called "Perfect Pennants" and is stamped in Picked Raspberry.

I have used a Sizzix Thinlit flower die (661794) for the flower at the top of the tag, cutting three layers of petals and then put a brad through the middle.  The leaf at the bottom of the tag is also a Sizzix Thinlit die (661792).

I hope you have a fabulous week.  Remember, if you are following this challenge, then I would love to see your creations.

Wonderful Water Lily Tag

I played with Tim Holtz Distress Inks to create the background for this tag.  Spritzed with water and then sprinkled with sea salt, when dried it created a lovely water/bluebell wood effect.

The sentiment on the right hand side is from the Stampin' Up "Perfect Pennants" stamp set.  I've made the flower & foliage using Sizzix thinlit dies.  To finish the tag, I added some self adhesive clear domes.
