I coloured the background of the tag with DI's in Pine Needles, Peacock and Broken China, which gave a good approximation of the green, and when stamped with water (using a bold stamp designed for home decor!) lifted enough colour to get close to the turquoise. I painted some crinoline fabric with acrylic paints and inked over the top to try to match the pink, cranberry and the beige, and when they were dry I die cut the flowers (Alterations Tattered Florals, of course!) and layered them up.
I stamped the man with cane (from Lost Coast Stamps) and the sentiment ( Tim Holtz from Stampers Anonymous) in Cranberry Adirondack, then added the flowers. I finished it off by gluing some pearls into the centres of the flowers.
And that was it. Not a colour combination I would have chosen, but you know, I rather like it! I hope you did too!

Hi Keren. I had to laugh when I read your post because I know just how you felt!! I love colour but found this really difficult!
I think you've made a really lovely tag and it fits those colours perfectly. Great florals you've made too.
