Tim's 12 tags of 2016 May, Jane's Journal's card version

We're onto the 5th tag of the year now and this is the remix design which Tim came up with this month.

If you would like to see his step by step you can find it over at his blog here.

As you know I am making card versions of these. I don't have the Lady Rose stamps although they are on my wish list so I went through my stash and came up with these.

I got out my stash of tissue tape and also
gave a first outing for my new Distress Palette of
archival inks.

I put down strips of tissue tape and inked my bird and butterfly stamps up. These were the images I used the resist technique on.

I added extra stamping and also some texure paste through my alphabet stencil.









I started adding my distress stains and continued adding, blending  and drying until I was happy with my background.

This was my finished background.

I love the way the tissue tape  resists the inks.
Then it was time for me to make my embelishments.
I also don't have the flower die Tim used so I used my Tatty floral garland die using mop up papers.

I then put them together with a brad.
Then it was time to put on my creative hat....................and here is my finished card

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;
