  Step 1

  I began with a number 8 tag and a piece of heavy scrapbook paper, but you could use plain card. I used a brayer to add Fresco Chalk Acrylic paint ( by PaperArtsy) onto the tag and the scrapbook paper. Doing this allows for subtle blending and layering.

  On the painted scrapbook paper I stamped lots of leaves (from stamp set EDY13 by PaperArtsy) I also stamped some text

  Step 2

  To the tag I added lines of stamping using a border stamp and a neautral shade of ink, between those lines I added a smaller background stamp using an even lighter colour. this adds a very subtle background effect.

  On a smaller piece of card I added more paints and then stamped 3 flower heads.

  Step 3

  These flower heads had more paint added to them.

  Step 4

  I also stamped and cut out some stems.

  You can see here that I have cut out all the leaves and turned them into petals, adding the flower heads in the centre.

  Step 5

  This makes for a quirky flower.

  Step 6

  I glued the new flowers to the tag along with the stems, making sure to allow some of hte petals to overhang the edges of the tag.

• 

  Step 7

  I cut up the text and edges each piece with a black pen. These were then attached over the stem. placing them in a staggered pattern adds interest. Make sure the last line covers the end of the stems, this will ground them, otherwise they don't look finished off.

  Step 8

  The tag itself is pretty cool, but to turn it into a greeting card I attached it to a linen white card blank .

  The petals still overhang, so to mail this card you would need to construct a custom made envelope.

  Step 9

  I liked this layout so much I made a second card using different shades of paints on the leaves/petals.
