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
