Prickley Pear Monday

Good morning and welcome to another Monday post with a fun project using some stamps from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  Today I have this tag full of flowers and bright happy colors, can you tell I'm ready for spring!!!  I used a manilla tag 4" x 8", I stamped the background using the PPRS "Rosebuds ATC" stamp with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with enamelware embossing powder, I then glimmer misted it with Tuscan Sun and Tiger Lily, once dry I added some brushed corduroy distress ink.  I made all the flowers with the "Flowers" clear stamp set and the coordinating die also from PPRS, I used the die to cut some flowers from gold ribbon, I like how this adds a different texture to the flowers.  The owl image is another stamp from PPRS called "Owl with bird", I stamped it on white Canson paper and colored with distress inks, cut with scissors.  For the oval shapes I used 3 dies from the "Inverted Scallop" set from Dies Direct.  For the final touch I added some gold pearls to the center of the flowers, some fun fibers and Stickles to the edge of the tag.
