I made a spring tag to add to my collection ;-)

I love the Tim Holtz Melange Tissue Wrap and used this as the base for my tag. I glued a piece to a plain white piece of card and then die cut using a  Framelits Tag. 


I then used Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry Inks before splattering with White Linen Ink and stamping with some Wildflowers finishing with a die cut Wildflower Silhouette. 


I used a Butterfly Duo die and cut the butterfly out of corrugated card. I added some Bubblegum,  and Glacier White Paints at random and splattered with Black Ink. I stitched the edges and finished with a strip of  Industrious Borders and Small Talk Stickers.



So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
