My French studies continue to consume most of my time, but I finally took time out over the weekend to get inky and create my March tag.
I love love love the background of Tim’s March 12 tags of 2015. It’s so bright and the distress paint gives such a gorgeous deep colour. It inspired me to go bold with my colour palette and I HAD to use the same butterfly stamp as I just didn’t want to use anything else more.
One of the (many) things that I love about the 12 tags is one idea inspires another. Tim uses a masking technique and when I was preparing my butterfly mask, I had the idea to use the backing sheet to make an overlay. I don’t need the backing sheet as I’m storing the butterfly mask over the top of the stamp sheet, (a great idea of Tim’s).
The backing sheet is thick enough that you can crease the wings so they fold up. I really like the 3D effect!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my tag. You can see this months tag and techniques on Tim’s blog and you can see the post translated into French on Scrapdeco’s blog.
Love your work Zoe. You and Tim are such an inspiration.
