Copying Lin's Tag

I have been fascinated by the tags that Linda Brown made a few days ago and this is my third attempt at producing something similar.
I covered a tag with some duck egg blue fabric and printed some of Lin's flower stamps in Snowflake fresco.
Next I watered down some fresco paint and gave it a thin wash, blending the colours.

Then I used Snowflake again through a flower stencil and when dry, moved it across a fraction and applied Beach Hut. 
I then gave the whole thing a thin wash of Limelight and dotted Limelight as seeds inside the background flowers.
I stamped the sentiment and stamped script through the stencil.
Finally I went round the edges with Beach Hut and Vintage Photo distress ink and threaded wool and ribbon.
More or less a copy of Lin's but thats how I am learning. x

  2. I love this - what a great result you got... I loved Lin's tags but need to see if I can find any suitable fabric I can use first.
