Mediums - DOX for wrinkle free distress background (soft, mopping up after another project). Bisters, Polychromos pencils.
As mentioned, the tag had a very soft wrinkle free distress left from mopping up DOX inks after another project. I stamped with Versafine Black onto it, the bee house and prickles. It seems to be a characteristic of the DOX inks that when I stamp on them, the stamped image also develops a slight bloom. So I stamped the house again on paper, coloured and and placed it over the image on the tag, after having cut the bees' wings and shaped their bodies slightly from behind with a stylus.
Masked and stamped the wood to give the beehouse something to sit on. Coloured the prickles with pencils. I had got that far during the week...and was waiting to add some sort of finish to the edges of the tags. So for MariLynn's challenge to try something new, I smudged Versamark all along the edges and then sprinkled brown bister all along, tapping off the excess. Misted it, and it gave me a good defined border. I finished off by adding some Stickles to the bees' wings, adding a sentiment on the wood, and a sprinkling of Aged Teal chunky ep to look like pollen sprinkling down from the prickles.

Such a fabulous tag Sabrina.....and I learned of two more must have ingredients ....blisters and aged teal ep. This mixed media is certainly your element and I get happy just seeing this fun creation.
