Colour - for a Simon Says challenge

It has been an absolute age since I managed to take part in a Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge - so decided that this was the week to make an effort!  The theme is "colour" and can be colour in any medium, ink, sprays, paint, whatever.

I went for Dylusions sprays and made a tag. I used Tim's Papillon background stamped in black archival on my tag, and sprayed with Calypso Teal Dylusions ink, with just a spritz of White Linen.  I used Chipped Sapphire distress ink round the edges of the tag.

I put a strip of tissue tape down the long edges of the tag too.

I had some die cut butterflies (from Craftwork Cards in the UK) which have been languishing in my stash for absolutely ever - this one is a pale blue with a hint of a shimmer to it.  I sanded it very lightly to help the spray "stick" - this is Cherry Pie Dylusions, and I sprayed it through a Crafters Workshop stencil (mini webbing)

I'd never used it before, but I love the pattern it's made across the butterfly's body.

To finish I added some ribbons and idea-ology bits and bobs!!

(sorry about the photo!)


As ever, the lovely people at Simon Says are donating a $50 prize to one random drawn entrant.

Now, where is my craft scrubbie? I have red fingers...!
