Kindness

Here is my tag for the current Tag You're It Challenge. Our inspiration for #51 is provided by Donna Mikasa.  I love the colors she chose.  I was feeling a bit lazy, so I improvised the watercolor background and used Hero Arts' Brushstroke stamp set with Pool Ink to provide the wash of color on the tag. The leaves are from a dear blogging friend Betty.



My flowers are from Mama Elephant's Water Blooms set and are colored with Tombow markers direct to the stamp, then blended a bit on the paper. The sentiment is from SSS. A bit of Stampin Up washi and a couple of pico dots along with a seam binding bow and its done. It is definitely a case of Donna's fabulous tag.


Thanks for stopping by!

Great take on the challenge. And not lazy at all - just using the tools you've got! It's got a wonderful watery feel!
