In the end I decided to break out my alcohol inks. I used Butterscotch (for the toffee element), Terracotta and Willow to create a background by splodging them on a glass mat and swiping the tag through the ink. I used what was left on the mat to colour some seam binding. I then stamped an assortment of butterflies in black Archival Ink. Once that was dry I overstamped lacey leaves in gold and then over that I stamped the words Le Papillon and some smaller lacey leaves in white. I really love how it turned out. I edged the tag with black ink and left it at that.
you can see the gold better in this picture
I think I might just about squeak in for this challenge. Must do better next time.

OH DEAR! I think we've ALL had days like that!! Still, once you got cracking you nailed it with the colours and lacy effect of the leaves. Good job matey
