Happiness Tag

Whilst nursemaiding Duke (our neighbours cat who is now offically ours thank goodness) I had time to do a little crafting.  Last week I ordered a Paperartsy stamp HP1005 from Country View Crafts only I ordered the wrong one somehow ordering HP1009 lol but glad I did as I really like it.

I cut a piece of manilla card into a tag using the TH Tag plate, inked it up using Mustard Seed, Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade distress inks. I added a few dashes and sprinkles of water here and there.  I then dabbed Ranger Picket Fence over the script stamp from TH Papillion stamp set and stamped onto the tag. I then inked up the larger Paperartsy flower using Ranger Black Archival Ink amd then stamped the grass stamp at the bottom of the tag. I lightly coloured in some of the flower petals with Tumbled Glass distress marker and added  black pearls to their centres.  The Happiness quote was stamped on a square of manilla stock using the same distress inks as for the tag and mounted onto black card. A little blackbird was added just above the quote to look like it was sitting on it, added a couple of TH diecut butterflies, some black seam ribbon and here it is.......

I am entering my tag into the following challenges

Thats it for now - just waiting for some gesso to dry before heading off the vets to lighten my already light purse
