Art makes the heart happy!

Over at frilly and funkie the challenge is inspired by a photo..i have to admit
 I started this challenge with some trepidation
 as I would never have put these colours together and yet.
..I am pleased with the result! A lesson to me somewhere!
So here is my ....yes you guessed tag!
and the inspiration photo is:
I started by smooshing..technical term...squeezed lemonade and peacock feathers distress ink
from the spring set onto my craft mat, spritzing and splurging tag in,
 drying and  until happy!! I love this Tim technique...
and when totally dry edged with peacock feathers, ..ink not real feathers!!..now there's an idea!?!
The heart is from Wendy as are the words...
And the wings is a Tim die cut, from grungepaper..
.covered in picket fence crackle paint..then I had to be patient...when dry I added some DI .
to finish I added some metal texture with mini attacher..
.and some ribbon, coloured with DI and some idea-ology!

I am entering this for the following challenges:
photo inspiration @ http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.co.uk/
anything but a card @ http://www.bellichallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
die cut @ http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

have a fab, fun and inky day!

  2. Gorgeous colours on this tag, love the way you have done the wings - and had the patience to wait until the paint dried! It is so useful to do tags and they do not take up as much storage space........ Anne x

  11. Wow, Trace, your BG came out awesome - love the way you have blended the inks together. It's a really beautiful piece. So glad you tried out the colors. I was a little apprehensive about using such a vivid photo, but was really curious to see how everyone would handle the colors. It's been so much fun to see everyone's interpretation of the photo and yours is sensational. So happy you joined in the fun with us at Frilly and Funkie!

    Hugs,
    Linda
