I decided to do tags for this 

challenge as I have not done 

them as a project before.

For my first tag I used

White linen card to cut 

the shape of the tag,

I used seedless preserves, broken china and shaded lilac 

distress inks for the background. 

I then stamped with black onyx versafine the

 Leaf Trail, stamped and cut out the flowers with seedless preserves 

Ocean Flowers were coloured with Sukura Gelly roll pens.

The lavinia bee was also highlighted with Sukura Gelly roll pen

Then I stamped 'Never Let Go Of Your Dreams' words.

This tag was done in much the same way

I also used weathered wood distress inks
I used the field grass stamp in the background
with Black onyx versa fine
then stamped and embossed
with purple glitter embossing powder
The Zen leaf 2 and he zen flower 3
Which was  then decoupaged
then heat embossed the words
Don't let life dull your Sparkle
