...I hope you've all been able to capture some of this wonderful un-seasonal weather...
...today i'm sharing with you a simple Tag...
...I've taken a plain manilla tag and covered it with Tim Holtz Idea-ology Paper and spritzed it with Tattered Angels 'Green Meadow'...it's such a shame you can't see the beautiful glisten of this spray...
...I thought this ribbon would make some stunning butterfly wings...
...these floweres I made with lace from Ribbon Girl which I dyed...small pale gold beads for the center and rolled brown paper for the stems which I did spritz with shimmering gold (Daler Rowney) ink...
...the main body of the butterfly is a chunky piece of driftwood...
...I'm entering this Tag for 3 challenges...

...thankyou for taking the time to drop by my blog today...
