Anything goes or Red, White and Blue at Polkadoodles

Good afternoon folks, I'm having one of those days today so I'm running late with my post for our challenge over at Polkadoodles where the theme is 'Anything Goes', the DT have been challenged to use the theme of Red White and Blue so you can play along with that  theme too. As always our lucky winner will receive a fab prize from the Polkadoodles store and my teamies have some gorgeous projects to inspire you.

For My project I've made a vintage tag using the beautiful butterfly stamps from Bella Fleur and Belle Papillon sets, you can find them both here with lots of gorgeous coordinating dies and the most beautiful papers too.

I began by using Ultramarine Blue PanPastel on my tag, then somestencilling  with a script stencil and white fine texture paste. While that was drying I stamped my butterflies on watercolour card with white embossing powder and coloured them with Festive Berries distress ink.

I layered up some lace and a little red/white gingham ribbon then attached my butterflies with silicone glue. I added some faux pearls for a trail between the butterflies and applied glitter around the edge of the tag to finish off.

I'm entering my tag in the following challenges:

Artistic Stampers: winged things

CRAFT: Ribbon and sparkle

Go Tag Thursday: Butterflies

Simon Says Stamp: Anything goes

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: stencil it

Thanks for popping by today, hope to see you again soon
