Tag You're It, Selective Colouring

It's Tag You're It Friday time!

The theme for this challenge is 'Selective Colouring', which is super easy to do...

I've simply stamped a grunge partial background in Memento Gray Flannel and then gone over part of the stamp with a touch of Tuxedo Black.  

The butterfly has also been coloured using Memento Markers...

As it's a grunge effect I wasn't overly worried about the left and right hand sides not matching perfectly.

  Close enough is just fine for this technique! 

Simply colour and stamp using a Stamp Positioner Tool and once happy leave the ink to settle in to the paper for a while before spraying with water.

(Leaving the ink to settle before spraying means that the colours will soften but the ink won't bleed so much).

Once dry, I've gone over the black stem with my marker pen so that it 'pops out' a bit more, then left it to dry again before adding three separate layers of Tim Holtz Distress Collage Medium/Crazing.

Then add a suitable sentiment, spray lightly with varnish and once dry, attach the butterfly.

It really couldn't be much easier than that!

I do so hope you will stop by and join us in our 'just for fun' challenge.

The winner does get the opportunity to Guest Design with us!
