Inspiration Emporium March Challenge Spring Blooms

OMG .... deadline time computer going crazy ... blue tooth gone crazy :( ! Here's my tag

Over at Inspiration Emporium the theme this month was Spring Bloom . I chose to use a remnant rub resist as my back ground using botanical remnant rubs. I used my Tim Holtz flower Garden stamp and the sentiment is from the Perspective Stamp set.

For my background colors I used squeezed, lemonade, cracked pistachio, spiced marmalade, picked raspberry and abandoned coral distress stains ... pretty cool huh?
For my flower I dug out my perfect pearls ; using perfect copper for the bud,  perfect gold for the petals and green patina for the stem. After painting these sections I very carefully re-inked sections of the flower and re-stamped it with black archival ink giving a touch up ( my perfect pearl work needed touch up). I had never done this before but thought it should work if I was very careful... it was pretty tricky.

To  embellish  my tag I added an enamel tag that I colorized with lake mist alcohol ink and then added remnant rubs ... so fun ! The sentiment that I added was embossed using clear embossing powder over black archival stamp. I hope you enjoy my tag !

See you again next month.
