I was so excited when Loll asked me to be a guest designer for the 12 tag event! What fun I had doing these! Thank you Loll!
Is everyone tired of these guys yet? Plain white cardstock was sprayed with Marion Smith Color Lab. These are powders that were mixed into sprays and leave a tiny hint of sparkle, not visible in the photo. I had no blue to work with so mixed up some Dharma Trading Procion dyes for natural fibers and made blue to spray on top of it. This resulted in the ugliest background I ever did. I friend talked me out of trashing it. I fed the tag through my printer and added some branches with Photoshop brushes. Stamped the birds and colored with copics and pencils, fussy cut and positioned on the branches. I did shrink one to be the "little kid" bird. The sentiment was computer generated. I then sponged the edges to give the illusion of light shining through and finished with glossy accents on the eyes. Join us for some fun at Loll's 12 tag challenge. You can find the information here

I think your tag is gorgeous, including the bg. I'm amazed to learn you placed the tag in your computer for the tree limbs. Amazingly creative and lovely.
