Welcome to another challenge from the Dragons Dream team - this time, my talented teamie Elizabeth has chosen Eight. Just use eight, the number, or eight of something, on your tag, and don't forget to use at least one real stamp.
I decided to use 8 flowers on my tag (which is a size ten, sorry!)
I started by dropping a little Sage Fresco on the tag, and brushed it over the tag, leaving a few gaps and wiping some away with a baby wipe.
I added Butternut to fill the gaps and overlap a little.
Then took the criss-cross stamp from JoFY36 and stamped it in the leftover Butternut, and inked part of one of the large collage script backgrounds from HP1501 (hmmm no pic of this stage!) in olive Memento ink
my flowers are by Prima and are all orangey-pale green
I die cut one of the Tim thinlet dies from a piece of spare Paperartsy paper for the bottom corner, and laid out my flowers
the central text is from HP1507 and is stamped on a piece of spare tag from something else, coloured with the same paints as the background, as is the 8, from HXT06
a few more 8's in the olive green I used for the script background to fill some gaps on the tag
some green ribbon from my stash finishes it off.
Hope you'll check out the pieces of eight (lol) from my team mates and we'd love to see you join in - you have 2 weeks.

AWESOME looking!
Tsk - I really feel you should have used a Size 8 tag!! Either way I love the muted colour palette here, and all those hints of script and text on the flowers and in the background - fabulous tag!
