Tag inspired by Ellen Vargo

Well I've finally dusted off my brayer - who couldn't after seeing the wonderful projects from Ellen Vargo over at PaperArtsy, click here.

I've never had a lot of luck getting a good result with brayering ink but after a couple of attempts I'm quite pleased my tag (first one went in the bin!).

I've used Claret, Tango and London Bus for the background.  Added a few bubbles in Honey Dew and some texture paste through my latest mask with hint of T Gold.  You can't quite see but I've also added a dashed border in black pen.

I might try and have a go on a larger piece of paper later in week. Who knows I might be a convert to using a brayer yet !
