My background was a failed experiment but rather than bin it I decided to recycle it.  It was originally a watercolour background.  I die cut the tag using a Tonic Studios tag die.

I used a Tonic Studios Nuvo Shimmer Spray which I watered down and sprayed the tag to cover the failed watercolour BG then dried.  I used Distress Oxide to darken random areas.  I dried the ink then used Tonic Studios Nuvo Glimmer Paste through a Tim Holtz stencil.  I put to one side to dry.

I die cut Crafters Companion snowflake die cuts in matt silver card.  I die cut John Next Door Snowflower and a foliage die, and a Creative Expressions sentiment.  I die cut watercolour card using a Clarity square die.  

I stamped the AALL & Create Robin image using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto the die cut watercolour card and onto a snippet of watercolour card.  I used a My Favourite Things Cloud stencil and Distress ink to create the clouds.  Then I watercoloured the stamped images and left to dry.  

I fussy cut the snippet robin and shaped him.  I added him to the stamped robin square using Pinflair Glue Gel.  I glued the die cuts directly onto the tag.  I added the stamped panel with foam pads then finished with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.  Back soon x
