Tag Tuesday Challenge #47 - Inspire Me

Louise's tag challenge this week is to use a quote or word that inspires you.
I thought this was a lovely verse as I am constantly inspired in my art from nature. The verse is from Stampscapes Scenic Sentiments Sheet #5.
This tag started from a scrap piece of kraft with the dogwood stamp already stamped using a brown pigment ink. I laid down a store bought tag and traced it over the stamped image and cut the tag from the kraft cardstock.
The background was stamped using the light pink dye ink and I forgot that it stamps a lovely color until it dries and then it disappears. :) I traced back over the faint background using my watercolor pencils to bring back the image.
Love coloring in the images on kraft. I think it produces such a softness to the color.
Thanks for stopping by...

    At first I was not enthousiast about the dogwood stamp. I thought it was not my style of stamp. But now I see how you used it...so beautiful!!! Lovely colors and the ribbon at the bottom is so fine with it! Great!

    This is SO STUNNING Sue - I love every millimeter of it. I hope those butterflies are from the antique engravings set, because I ordered those as part of my prize last week.

    I'm completely lost for adequate words for this fabulous tag Sue. It's really stunning and you are so right about the softness of the colours on the Kraft card.

    I need to look up that sentiment set. You always use such lovely sentiments on your projects.
