I was not entirely happy with my first attempt so I repeated the process, the result of which can be seen on my tag.
I then decided to spritz my first attempt with water to achieve a softer look and add a butterfly, and I really love how it turned out. I wrapped some twine around my panel, mounted it onto a piece of Ranger kraft cardstock and adhered this to my card base, after stamping my sentiment in Memento rich cocoa ink. The stamps are from a set by Sheena Douglas (Silhouette grasses) and Stampers Anonymous (Tim Holtz H2-1340; I only stamped the smaller of the 2 butterflies). The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set (It's your day).
