I am so last minute (again) posting my June T!m tag, good job there is the difference in time zones is all I can say.
I followed T!m's tutorial here but I must say getting a result that I was happy with from the water colour monoprint technique took me 3 attempts. I used the speckles stencil first but thought the colours were too muddy so I tried the doily stencil (twice) and didn't like those either. I decided to stamp up my first attempt thinking the butterflies would cover most of the muddy part and see how it looked. I thought it wasn't too bad so carried on and finished it off.
I really enjoyed making this months tag and realise I definitely need those mini Distress inks, it would have been much easier to apply smaller amounts of ink to the stencil.
I love the Paula Cheney bow, so easy when you know how eh.
So am I happy with this tag?
Yes I am! and the funny thing is, is that the thing I love most about my tag
is that area of muddy inking at the bottom of the tag.
Ahh well alls well that ends well, as they say.
Have a great week
Happy Art making

I'm loving the mix of colours.
ReplyDeleteOnly three attempts - I had a bin full! It is a beautiful tag Lottie, I love your colour choices and your bow is gorgeous. Anne xx
ReplyDeleteHi Lottie,
ReplyDeleteI agree, I love the muddy look at the bottom of the tag. I saw the small ink pads at the store and wondered why someone would buy the small ones -- well, you've answered that question for me!
Hugs,
