Wishing You All You Are Wishing For
My inspiration this morning came from the colours over at The Play Date Cafe, using the Generic Bird Diagram from 100 Proof Press.
I love these two colours together and decided to make a tag using Distress Inks spiced marmalade and worn lipstick.
I stamped my Generic Bird Diagram first and then embossed with the honeycomb texture fade blending Distress Inks over the embossed areas.
I stamped my bird three times adding a little dimension to the body. I also added two panels of the embossed honeycomb to the top and bottom of my tag, attaching coordinated ribbon to the top panel.
I cut a heart using the mini hearts set die, stamped the bird's head onto the heart and coloured with worn lipstick ink. I then stamped the bird's head once more for a little more dimension and coloured with spiced marmalade ink. Hand stitched buttons have been added for a little more interest.
I added a dimensional flower, sponging the edges with spiced marmalade ink and adding the sentiment from Tim's Words For Thought set.

Love your tag, Tracy. It's funny, you are always taught that you can't use pink and orange together, but I think it looks great! Have a good weekend.
