And Then There Was One

Hello.  Welcome.  Hope you are having a perfect Sunday.  Happy Mothers Day to all you ladies in the states.  Hope you have been spoiled rotten.  Over at PaperArtsy Ellen Vargo has been making a lovely colourful tag flip book.  Love Ellen's style so thought I'd make a couple of tags.  Glad I started with two because there were challenges!!

I made a collage sheet using Simon Says Stamp Artful Borders and MME stamps. 



I painted two large and two small tags with PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Rose and Pansy paint using a scraper.  I stamped with Distress Ink Worn Lipstick and Dusty Concord using my homemade dry wall tape stamp, a ruler stamp by MME and the PaperArtsy Book stamp ESN01.  I added some black paint lines using the edge of the scraper and stamped one of the MME border stamps in black.  

And then there was one.  Discovered the black lines on the small Pansy tag were not helpful.  Will be painting over those again later.  I've added some of my collage paper and some white and black pen work.  

These two stamps were next to eachother in my PaperArtsy box.  I saw the bird on the cage SM27 and the word Escapist MN16 and it just had to be. 



The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.

    Great tag! As you say, the cage and the word were made for each other! Thank you for sharing it with us at Stamping Sensations.
