For today's WT: Use something from the kitchen, hence, wax paper. I used Anne's challenge of No-iron resist for my tag and then sponged each color to create a gradient effect. The butterflies were stamped in each color and then the bodies were colored with markers, used a sticky dot to adhere and popped up the tag after adding coral ribbon, twine and button. The cantaloupe panel is popped up also. I used my bone folder to curl the twine ends. Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

Roberta, I love the way you've colour-matched the butterflies to the gradient in your resist tag. And the curly ends on the twine - that looks just wonderful.

Roberta, I love your tag with wax paper resist technique. And I especially love how you sponged for a gradient effect and then matched up the butterflies accordingly. A fantastic card :-)

WOW! Roberta, this is beautiful! I will have to look up that technique and I love the gradient sponging. How did you curl the twine? Love that look. Beautiful colors.
