I made three tags in December for Christmas cards that I never used. I have a bunch of birthdays in May and June and decided to use them. The tags were made out of Neenah solar white 110 lbs using Graphic45 tag die. I then used distress oxide spray with metallic on all of the cards.
I then stamped with Simon Says Stamp Floral Garden stamp in black Versafine ink using the Misti. When the stamp dried I used Polychromos pencils to slightly color in some of the flowers and leaves. I also used a white Gelly roll pen to add some white highlights to some of the flowers. When I was done I decided the card needed a little sparkle so I sprayed with Perfect Pearls over the whole card. I did have to blot the image as the distress inks are reactive with water but I love the way the Pearls just give a little something extra!
When looking though my sequins and embellies I bound this little jewel with a tiny hummingbird. I have had these for years (only a few have hummers and the rest have designs) and have NO idea where I got them or who made them but it was just perfect for this card. I die cut Simon Says stamp Brush Script wafer die out of gold mirror cardstock and the backing in heavy duty vellum.
