anything goes challenge dt piece: lavender and lace

well those of you who know me and stop by here will realise this dt piece for anything goes challenge , where the theme for the next challenge is relax with lavender and lace..left me way put of my comfort zone and feeling anything less than relaxed!!! so here is my piece:
I started by at least being kind to myself and choosing a tag, some  distress crackle paint and distress inks and some floral trim..which i do love and then added some lace, fab vintage ribbon and a little bottle...
I started by painting the tag in a patch with picket fence crackle paint and then when dry colouring remainder of tag with DI. the image and sentiment are from indigo blu..and this set is part of my blog candy giveaway..see here

I then used distress inks to colour the floral trim, ribbon and lace and filled the little bottle with seed beads.
make sure you pop across here to see the other fab dt pieces and to Lynne's craftden for lots of goodies, then maybe pop in an entry yourself!
have a fun and inky day!
