Our challenge this week at the You Can Do It' forum was to make a tag. I have never made one before but have long admired the Tim Holtz tags. Well, this is a feeble effort to use some of his techniques. I used Ranger distress paints, rubbed them on my craft sheet and spritzed with water. I also spritzed my paper with water and then dragged the tag through the inks. Dried it and then did it one more time. I then sprayed the tag with turquoise glimmer mist, ink distressed the edges with SU Soft sky. I made three roses out of computer paper that I had rubbed with a soft sky ink. also made a butterfly out of iridescent Xyron paper. Stamped the sentiment. I notice it did not stamp very dark. I should have used Archival ink.

Beautiful. You did a great job with the background. The butterfly and roses add a nice touch. I like the stamped swirl and saying. Nicely done. A great addition to the You Can Do It Challenge gallery for the tag challenge. TFS
