Steam Bee

Still playing with Pixelmator and finding it a fun tool but heaps more to learn and understand.

Spent the morning yesterday revising distressed cracked paint technique.   On this tag the result is rather wood bark like.   That led to the wonderful new Brigid Ashwood's Steam Bee from Sweet Pea Stamps.   Stamped directly onto the tag and coloured with Sakura Glitter pens that added a sheen to the image.   Bees are Spring/Summer insects and so are Butterflies so partnering a butterfly die cut, using mechanical print paper.    A mix of Stampendous ep, glitters sprinkled over the top, the tie is twisted sari silk.

Right now I've re-mastered the paint effect the results are being shared with
