Dragon's Dream TIO New DT Piece
This time it's Elizabeth to decide the recipe and she chose the letter I and buterflies.
As you have probably noticed I am a bit of a music nut and some songs just stick with you no matter what, so my instant inspiration was John Lennon's Imagine.
I based the tag in Paperartsy Fresco Finish Amethyst and stamped the flower from a hotpix plate by them too. then I set about getting the right part of the song, not the most obvious part, but one that means more to me. Living for today, rather than what may have been or what may be. I used Tim Holtz word stickers to make the phrase, I used a rub on to highlight the capital I and then cut three butterflies from three different dies - Cheery Lynn (steampunk style one) Tattered Lace (Bottom left) and the middle one was a freebie on a magazine.

Dragon's Dream TIO DT Piece - Q and Gold
This time round is the super talented Julie-Ann choosing the theme, Julie-Ann is another of my twitter buddies as well as fellow DT member.
I wanted to go "Quirky" so promptly spent an hour going through various boxes of stamps, gave up as I had way too much choice and went and had a brew!
After said brew, I took the bull by the horns and went for - yes, you guessed it - the first stamp plate I looked at. Clearly clothes shopping rules apply when one selects stamps too.
Stamp chosen - Emily from the Steampunk Sarah and Emily set from Doolally pap (gotta love a firm called that!!). I stamped her in Black Versafine and coloured in with Distress markers, I find these are better for me than alcohol pens, and goodness knows I've tried.
I then used Spellbinders Embossabilities birdies folder directly onto the tag, and then used frayed burlap DI followed by Treasure Gold Renaissance. I then stamped over this in frayed burlap theh script from HP1006 from PaperArtsy.
I then cut some flourishes from my spellbinder dies in a really awful floral paper I got in a job lot, but cut down like this it's bearable (just).
I cut the word from gold(ish) pearlescent paper with a Tattered Lace alphabet die and mounted this onto a scrap of backing paper to make a label.
I then assembled the components and added a distresssed navy flower which I altered the silver glitter centre to Gold using glitter and Cosmic Shimmer Glue (I attempted a dome, but it sank).
