Papillon postcard



Happy new year!!
I've been sorting out my craft room and came across a colour copy of the back of an old postcard so I decided to use it as the base of a tag.


There came a point in it's making when I really didn't like this tag!  I'd coloured the middle moth but re-stamping it onto plain white paper and gluing it over the top retrieved it for me.  I repeated this for the other butterfly and moth too.


 The green at the top was still a little too green but a smudge of cream paint through a stencil here and there knocked it back a little and now I like it :)


I seem to have a theme going in my journals at the moment, but I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with these brightly coloured backgrounds!  Although I do quite like this tag on there ....

    Brilliant fiery colours in your journal, the tag looks great against such a contrast.
    Hope you are feeling loads better & continue to gain strength.

    Hope 2014 brings you what you need & want:-) xxx

    Love the tag - well rescued (we seem to be doing some rescuing between us!) and I love the journal pages - wonderful bright colours for a very very dull January day!! Happy New Year, hope 2014 is wonderful for you.

    Brilliant tag! Love those bright backgrounds and yes the tag does sit beautifully there! A very Happy New Year to you - and I think a play day should be sooner rather than later this year! Hugs, Chrisx

    This is really an artful tag, Sarah! Love how you re-stamped these winged beauties onto card and attached them--adding a bit of texture to it. Very creative to have added a layer at the top for interest, too. Well choreographed, I say! Happy New Year, my friend!

    Yeah that contrasting tag could really work on there. Love your tag...my kind of images and flowers going on. We have a similar taste :0)
