Butterflies and Tim Holtz Challenges

I started off thinking about the Butterflies challenge at Craft Room Challenge then I was trying to make a tag using a Tim Holtz technique for Dragon's Dream TIO  I have only just started out on my Tim Holtz journey so had to follow a video to see how to do a background with Distressed ink and water spritzer. What a mess I made everywhere but I think I got something that looks like the demo in the end.

My dream would definitely to be as free as a butterfly but I would like to live a bit longer than they do :)

    Chrissie, your butterfly tag is gorgeous. Yes, with all their beauty a butterfly is certainly short-lived.

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog.

We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
