So had a little bit of a spendie, bought some coloured cardstock at the same time and am now surrounded by stamped images and coloured card and Mr Mojo is still AWOL!
The background paper is from the Prima Fairy pad (another old pad hardly used!), distressed the edges, used some Antique Linen DI and then some 'Weathered White' embossing powder, randomly over the paper.
Matted it onto some of the newly purchased cardstock - cheated a bit here cos I just cut a square frame to fit under the patterned paper which left me with a nice big square bit to use on something else - so I cut out a 'frame' using two of my very oldest circle dies and made the tag all from the same piece!
Attaching the sentiment through the frame with string was a CASE'd idea from Pinterest.
The birdies were stamped using memento ink.
The colours used on the background were a mix of Adirondack Sandal and Butterscotch for the 'ground' and the sky was done with Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender and Tattered Rose.
I have kept this card as plain as possible - no fancy pearls/embellies/candy anywhere - I might add a couple of white card candy but then again might not!

A fabulous card. I love the weathered look you have achieved. Great design and the water coloured background is beautiful.
Oh this is gorgeous Viv! I recently bought the Wetlands set too after craving it for ages as well. You really made a super card, and I also have the Prima paper pad you used too - just checked and have used all of two sheets so far. Bad me - and I think my Mojo ran off with yours - although from what you made here it wouldn't seem to be the case. Am finding I sit staring into space with a blank mind for ages - Len would say nowt new there but am sure you know what I mean :)
Don't fret about posting stuff - just whenever.
Hugs, Di xx
Lovely card Viv and love your design...love the Wetlands set
