These tags are huge, made from thick chipboard like stuff and I had great fun playing with the following Shimmerz products:
Spritz Treasured Hymn
Coloringz: Chocolate Brownie
Vibez: Before Dawn.
Below a few process photos:
Cover the tag with gesso and when dry some crackle paste. Add base colour with brown toned acrylic paint, then play around with the sprays until you are happy with the result. Finally add some stencilling and splatters using gesso.
Next create focal embellishment, - a butterfly. To create this effect I stamped a Tim Holtz stamped into triple embossed bronze embossing powder using black archival ink, Once dry I then deepened the colour using by sprays,
Next I layered everything up using a background panel, made from scrapbook paper, covered with a thin layer of gesso and then enhanced with the Treasured Hymn spray. I added a pen nib to the centre of the butterfly, again first given a light coat of acrylic and then deepened the colour with the sprays.
A stamped sentiment and and metal crown embellishment finished it all off.
Well, that's it for today. Don't forget our incentive programme, you can find the details below:

Astrid I love what you have created here, absolutely scrummy yummy. When I first saw the butterfly I thought that you had used an embossing folder :) What a great effect you have achieved and the finished project is brilliant.

WAUW this is as always just amazing, and soooo gorgeous with this kind of rough look and yet it feels soo soft somehow. Don´t know how you manage to get soo much into one little tag, but I LOVE it, and it´s soooo beautiful.
Wonderful tag! Great background fot your butterfly!
