Ara colors shining through

Hi everyone,
Today's tag was especially inspired by the picture of Frilly and Funkie photo challenge. This parrot is really gorgeous and I just had to use those colors. Of course I also use wings and so I came up with the idea to use the wing stamp of Tim Holz to color it like it were wings of the parrot. I colored them with distress markers. The wooden butterflies could not be missed. I think those butterflies are so cute and they can go with almost everything. I find that making a tissue wrap flower isn't a easy as it seems. But after some practice I made some I liked. I really love the small one I've used on this tag! The tissue wrap flower is the technique used for Compendium of Curiosities 2 and this time it's sponsored by The Funkie Junkie's Boutique!






I'm entering this tag to:
  • Frilly and Funkie : inspiration photo
  • Our Creative Corner: Buttons ′n Burlap or Bows
  • Compendium of Curiosities 2: tissue wrap flower
  • Simon Says Stamp and Show: a bit of brown




  • Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!

    Hugs,
    Sandra
