Bold Colours

Hello everyone and welcome back !

This months Challenge is Bold Colours. I have created a heart tag using Tim Holtz distress crayons. I picked three colours for the base(mermaid lagoon- peacock feathers-mustard seed) applied them to the tag and blended the colours together. Then using a stencil I rubbed some of the colour off with a damp baby wipe this added interest to the background. 

For my focal image I stamped the dragonfly twice from the All and Create stamp set by Tracy Evans. I coloured the wings with the raspberry distress crayons and added some mermaid lagoon distress crayon to its body. 

Fussy cut the dragonflies and then  added some sparkle with clear sparkle pens. I adhered one dragon fly to the tag and added some cotton thread underneath it. Then I glued the second one directly on top but only in the middle so it’s wings are free. Shaped the wings to give it dimension. I added sparkle splatters and some words to finish it off. 

I think the bold background sets off the dragonfly beautifully and makes it an eye catching tag on a special gift.
