Snowflakes are Butterflies

This tag uses some images from Quietfire Design's newest stamp set, Snowflakes are the butterflies.  I started with a #8 tag and covered the front with picket fence stain, dried it, stamped the flourish snowflake with Versamark, sprayed on both colors of Dylusions, blotted the tag, dried it, stamped snowflakes with salty ocean and dried.  I love the soft, chalky look of the ink when you put down a layer of the picket fence stain first!!!!  Snowflakes are the butterflies is stamped and then embossed in black.  Since I had dried the tag and also heavily used an anti-static bag I thought I would be fine with the black embossing powder but some still stuck to the flourish snowflakes - grrr.  I tried my best using a very detailed paint brush to brush away the excess embossing powder from around the words and I got most of it without much disturbance to the quote but there is some stray pieces, so don't look too close (vbg).  The extra flourish snowflakes are stamped with salty ocean on a scrap of manila card that was first coated with the picket fence stain and then cut out.  A strip of tissue tape across the bottom.  Dylusions ink-dyed ribbon at the top.  The snowflake charm is colored white with the Adirondack mixative.
