A golden purple mixed media tag

A winner at Lindy's Gang

for May challenge

Here's a mixed media tag I've made for May challenge at Lindy's Gang blog, with this majestic pallete:

I was also inspired by the April challenge at Mixedmedia Place blog, with this beautiful moodboard:

I started by cutting a tag from a thin chipboard, then covered it with a good layer of Finnabair white gesso.

Next I wet the tag with water and applied Magnolia Magenta Gold Magical shaker, and let it run all over the tag.

I used 49 and Market stamp 1787 with embossing ink and heat embossed with King Midas Gold ep.

Look how beautiful it looks:

I've made some embellies - for the flower I colored a watercolor paper with Summer Lovin Sun flat spray 

Then I stampped a flower in layers, using embossing ink. I used Purely White ep on all of them, but tried several combinations with Sunrise Salmon Gold  ep and Caesar's Gold ep:

I colored watercolor paper one with Hi Maintenance Magenta spray, and the other one with a combination of Raspbery Lemonade flat spray with Oom Pah Pah Pink shaker and Alpine Ice Rose shaker:

On the purple one I stamped leaves and heat embossed them with Tannenbaum Green Gold ep:

From the pink one I die cut some leaves:

I also die cut more shapes of leaves, and colored some with Antique Gold shaker:

The others with Grab a Guy Gold spray and heat embossed them with Sunrise Salmon Gold:

I glued all the elements on the tag, using Finnabair Soft Matt Gel, added some sissal and gold glass beads:

 For the final touch I brushed with white gesso and also sprinkled it here and there:
