bloom and grow!!!

hi there,
well here I am again with another tag!!can't help it and made with more playing with my new dylusions goodies!!! shhh i have some more on the way..keep it under your hat ssshhhh!
So here she is:
sorry photo not great, light awful!!!
I started by making an inky background, well the background was a mop up from another tag and then i added some stencilled detail.Once dry..no i blasted it with my heat gun!!! I stamped these fabby leaf stamps in black archival and added some white pen highlights...a new white pen, maybe too white?!
then i added some black soot distress ink around the edges to make the colours pop..i know they were bright anyway..sorry struggle to do a tag and not add distress round the sides!
to complete i added a bit of floral trim, and some very bright flowers made using tattered floral movers and shapers die...they are bright aren't they!!!blimey!
I added the text in white as i personally like the stark contrast...oh and some trusty ribbon dipped in the stains!
short and sweet today!
I am entering this for the following competitions:
