MAY FLOWERS..DT

 Hello everyone,

It's LITTLE RED WAGON  time and I'm hostess this week and my theme is " MAY FLOWERS" and my make this time is so different for me, not a lot of effort but quite effective I think,.but the first came out the best then I tried to copy, not the brightest move but they sort of worked..


These are the originals..
I had these brown tags that I made on tag making day in my stash for such a long time, I've used loads of them but still had some laying around and one day I must have sprayed them with inks etc. and then put them aside..
Then the stickers turned up, and they are BIG and I popped one on just to see as their colours were a bit different, dark navy and lighter blue and creamy colour..
I just reallyl iked them and thought " Oh, I could make more " mmmm....




So I set to, and it was to say the least difficult.


the tag paper wasa different and I forgot what inks i used and just sprayed and played


splattered and did some crazy stuff..


then they curled..


but eventually, I ended up with these.


added the leftover stickers I had..


3 + 4 = a little disappointment..keep going, don't give up.


But I don't give up too easy
and found some chiffon ribbon in blue so added that through the tops..


Then lastly some beautiful golden yellow butterflies stickers
and sold them as bookmarks..boom!!


Come on over and join us HERE

So there you go, new motto, never give up..
just keep adding stuff, layers of colour and stickers and you never know, you could end up with a masterpiece.

Thank you so much for stopping by,
I'll see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

They may not have turned out the way you had hoped but the backgrounds are wonderful and love how you used the stickers on them!

Lisa said...

The bold stickers look amazing against those inky brown tags, and the way you played with sprays, splatters, and texture gives each bookmark its own personality while the chiffon ribbon and golden butterflies add a lovely polished finish to your creative experimenting.
