Discover your passion

Good morning folks, today is the first proper day of my week off work and it looks like its going to be a lovely sunny one so hopefully I'll be able to laze around in the garden and enjoy the sunshine. My project today is my entry for this months challenge at Indigo Blu where the theme is Tag You're It

I've used lots of different Indigo Blu stamps for my tag, I began with a layer of turquoise tint and Permanent Green tint PanPastels and then stamped the border from 'Boadicea' along the left hand side in Memento Tuxedo Black and Bubbles Background along the other side using Versamark ink. I applied deeper shades of PanPastel over the versamark and coloured the border with Graph'it markers. Next I used Salty Ocean and Peacock feather distress inks through a harlequin stencil and applied  Maimeri Glassy Gel over the top. I removed the stencil and sprinkled with Glamour dust. You can see the sparkle a bit better in this pic


I stamped the sentiment from 'Discover your Passion' and embossed with silver EP. I added some little acetate flowers from my stash, die cut butterflies and a rose I'd made with Tattered pine cones die and coloured with PanPastels. I also coloured some ribbon with PanPastels for the top of my tag, it looks a bit of a weird colour on the photo but its actually the same colour as the rose.

I'm also entering this tag in the following challenges:
Everybody Art: monochrome
Glitter'n'Sparkle: anything goes
Left of Centre: add sparkle
Sisterhood of Snarkystampers: brads and or buttons
That's Crafty: Stencils, masks and templates

Thanks for visiting today
