2nd Paper Artsy challenge

I loved the simple clean look that Clare Lloyd achived on her project ' a little bird told me' which you can see here. I wanted to create something similar but didn't have any of the stamps so my creation is improvised with what I do have.

I chose to do another tag; I masked off the part I wanted to use. Although this effect looks very simple it took me three attempts to get it right. The first time I over stamped and got some lines in the area which I didn't like. The second attempt was good, however, I had so much ink on my fingers I made the tag dirty and blotchy. My third attempt had me cleaning my hands and being careful not to push too hard on my stamp.

The stamp I used was ink block, which was one I chose as a prize from Artistic Stamper. I first stamped in black, then red and then lilac.

Once this was dry I chose a flower stamp and repeated  the process and then added some butterflys.i

I appreciate how keeping it looking simple can actually be a lot harder than it looks. 

Thank you for looking and as always would love to read your comments.
