I was inspired by, monday's challenge, at Simon says stamp, and created this tag:

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/

 

 

This is how, I started creating: branches, with the hot, glue gun...

Then, I coloured it, with acrylics (light cadmio green and brown), and leaf green paste...

After, I added some butterflies, that I had , previously, fussy cut and applied, glossy accents, on them...

As a next step, I added some pieces of wire, that I painted in brown...

Then, I added some pieces of chipboard, that I painted, in the same colours, as the tag; plus, I stamped them, using old, silver paste; I also, stamped some parts, of the tag, in the same way...

 

 

I was inspired by, two challenges:
