french butterfly tag


I so appreciate being on the Stampotique Designers' team; it gets me making something every week!  I ReaLLY enjoyed making this tag :)  I got some happy post this week and some of the stamps I used were in it...


When I ordered the stamps I had the idea of combining both Papillon stamps to form the background but changed my mind after stamping the script version.


I folded some paper over the base of the tag to mask the bottom inch or so then repeatedly stamped Papillon Script with a black ink pad.


I'm afraid this is as far as I got with the step by step photos so I'll just have to describe it to you!  I stamped the large butterfly on some pre-sprayed paper, and stamped the centre of it (inking it up first then masking the wings with post-its) onto the tag so that I kept the detail of the antennae after cutting out the butterfly.



After spraying some dylusions slate grey ink onto a strip of plastic (acting as a palette) I tried stamping with this and got a lovely effect which I then stamped row of numbers onto.


A few scraps of stamped and sprayed paper collaged onto the edges and my tag was done.  Hope you like it!!

  5. This is gorgeous Sarah - and my favourite colours too. I have to admit that I find some of the Stampotique stamps a little too strange for my taste, but these are all lovely!
    Have a nice time at Port Sunlight tomorrow if you're going. I won't be there unfortunately - sad face!

  7. I haven't used my Stampotique stamps for ages Sarah - think you can reach overload with a certain style sometimes, but your gorgeous tag is making me itch to get them out again. Jo created some lovely stamps.
