Hi everyone, hope your weekend is off to a good start! I'm scraping in on the last day for Tim Holt's 12 tags of 2012 March tag and this one involved a technique for making the mosaic butterfly which I followed to make them.
The technique is a pretty way to use up scraps of paper which in this case was from a Crafty Individuals pad 'Travels in Italy'. My weathered wood background is one of Andy Skinner's great techniques and is going to be a favourite. I painted with acrylics at the bottom of the tag and made a fabric flower using the tattered florals die and more paint. To finish off I added some text at the side and stained seam binding. Enjoy your day :)!
