For the current ODBD SLC challenge to add a tag, and also for the Stamping in Time challenge to use embossing.
A2 base. I took a piece of watercolour paper and coloured the blue area using re-inkers and a wet wash technique. I stamped the flowers and leaves from Botanical Blooms and coloured them in a similar way, wetting the paper and then colouring. I spattered the sky a bit with colours I'd been using, and then embossed the piece with SU Elegant Lines ef. The edges are all heat embossed with gold EP.
I created the tag using a Sizzix die and the wrinkle-free distress technique. I stamped the butterfly and chicory, and added touches of Stickles to the centre of the chicory and to the tips of the butterfly wings. Like the card the tag is edged with gold EP. I stamped the sentiments on card and tag, added gold ribbon to the tag and fixed it to the base.

Oh my, what a wonderful look you've gotten with this wet wash technique!! The dry embossing after the stamping has a wonderful effect and the gold embossed edges has such a classy look. Love the way the tag words lead you to the Scripture!!
First class card, Sabrina!! TFS
