Hi everyone, hope you've had a good weekend. I'm sharing a tag today and entering it into the Simon Monday Challenge the theme of which this week is 'inspired by a song' and my song is 'Little Bird' by Annie Lennox.
I have a little wren that visits my garden regularly that I love to watch and it's one of my favourite birds so it was lovely to find this stamp set by Inkyliscious.
I wanted to have a one layer tag and create depth with the stamping and some shading with charcoal pencil so I've stamped in black and white, stencilled in paint and added some details with a black sparkle pen. The background is distress ink and distress stain. I've finished off the tag simply with some twine.
I also tried out the new Ranger crazing medium for the first time. I can see a slight texture more than crazing which you can see around the Wren in the close up so I'll have to work with it a bit more.
OK, back soon and if you don't know it here's the song :-)

Hello Chris, OH... I just love your tag, beautiful colors, just a touch of spring. it speaks to me so much! as, these days, I am just crazy about birds! I did not know what a wren was, I thought at first it was a tit ( mésange - in french) but I was wrong. I hope that I will be be able to observe a wren this summer. Sending love. xox
This tag is AMAZING (all in caps)! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it and reading your post. The color palette you used is stunning and I love how you blended the colors. I also thought it was genius of you to include the little blue circles. It made me think of bubbles and gave your tag a wonderful ethereal magical feel. And your song choice made me happy. What an excellent tribute to the song and a lovely feast for the eyes! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
Stunning tag!
