Wings Tag

I have made this tag with my favourite new PaperArtsy stamp. I used a black tag and applied a little moonshadow mist and acrylic paints. I stamped the image on white card using black ink and i applied a coat of clear embossing powder to the image to add texture. I coloured it using water colour paints - I was really tempted to use browns as these are the colours I seem to find easier to work with, but I decided to try and create a more feminine look. I gave it a spritz of red Glimmer Mist and added a piece of acetate cut into a tag shape. I used a Dymo to add the quote "we each have only one wing, in order to fly we must embrace."
I really enjoyed making this piece:)
