Enjoy the little things in life

First I made the background. I used watercolor paper and blended Distress ink Speckled Egg and Faded Jeans. Then I run it through my Big Shot with the 3D embossing folder Engraved. To lighten it I carefully rubbed some white wax on it.

The flowers were cut first and then colored with distress ink and a waterbrush.

Live for the moments you cannot put into words

The background is a #8 Distress tag. I blended Distress Ink Speckled Egg in the middle of the tag. Around that I used Tea Dye, Walnut Stain and Ground Espresso.

I used the stamps The Poinsettia and Spring Shadows from Tim Holtz and stamped some text and swirls on this background with Archival Ground Espresso and Vintage Photo. I also used embossing ink and Distress embossing glaze Speckled Egg.

I also put Distress embossing glaze Walnut Stain around the edge of the tag.

The inkwell and writing feather are from the Sizzix bigz die Writing Desk.
For the colors I used Distress Ink Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, Pumice Stone, Walnut Stain and Ground Espresso. On top I put some Distress Crackle Paint Clear Rock Candy.
