I was looking forward to trying this out... I had visions of using the diamond pattern or a split image. Instead.....
I ended up using a mask and sponging on black dye ink. I liked the effect. The mask was one I have had for a long time and never used so I was happy to try it out.
I had a hard time finding a white Prima flower in my bin. I found four that were too large for my tag so I had to fold them over and create my flowers using that method.
The butterfly was embossed using the Zing black glitter embossing powder. I didn't think it had enough zing so I applied glitter with a glue pen around the edges.
The shape of my tag is very much inspired by Jacqueline's gorgeous tags that you can admire here. (The best part is she sent me some of them and they are hanging up in my craft room and they are beautiful!!!)
I took one set of pictures with no background paper and you couldn't see the white frame, so I re-took the pictures with my favorite Memory Box pattern paper (Happenstance).
