Now, on to the tag! It's summer here where I live, and a perfect time for frozen treats and flip flops. I colored up this cute Wryn from Tiddly Inks using Copics, added a gem to her hair clip and shimmer to her ice cream. She's all ready to celebrate summer:
My tag was inspired today by the extremely talented and wonderful Donna Mikasa! There's so much to love here on her tag! Look at her watercolor background; I had to follow along with that. I love the strength of her black sentiment and elements, so I carried that through on my tag as well, except I decided my enamel dots needed to spread some extra color around my tag. I opted to ink up the stamp in black simply because it worked better with my focal image, but I love Donna's white heat embossing and the blending of her colors!
