The latest challenge at
Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential was to use something "slick" on our cards - like slick cardstock, embellishments, acetate paper, crystal lacquar, etc.
I knew instantly I wanted to do T!m Holtz' technique where he puts inks on photo paper and squirts the blobs with a can of air to make splats! You can see his tutorial
HERE - he'll explain it much better than I ever could!!
So I made this tag to put on a gift for my mom (who is feeling down these days). I then thought it could be a focal point for a card ... hence the stamped black butterflies behind it. What do you think....keep it as a tag to attach to a gift or add it to a card???

That's a tough call, Donelda. The b&w butterfly background looks great with the colorful background. But it's also a great stand-alone tag. Not much help, am I?
