This tag has been made using one of the new Crafty Individuals stamps - Summer Garden (CI-385) and the Alice Palace Bubble Bird (CI-371).
Challenges to have fun with -
Simon Says Stamp and Show - Inspired by - for me this is Kate Crane and her journaling style although this has more muted colours.

The background has DIs pickled raspberry, dried marigold and salty ocean blended over the tag, sprinkled with water and dried then bubble-wrap stamped in gesso.
I used a white posca pen to colour in some of the summer garden stamp images, then the bird and 'hello' coloured with prisma colours added to it.
I also stamped, coloured and cut out extra flowers to create more height and you can hopefully make out four of them in the photo below.
Some doodling round the edges in black and white, some coloured ribbon and a tiny birdhouse charm on a pin finishes it off.
Happy crafting.

Love it! Do you just use the foam pad blending tool to blur the background colours?
I have finally amassed a dozen or so DI's but haven't used them yet...
Love how you did this...Little Miss C loves this type of work...She just made her first art journal page and is so proud of it!!! Her theme was GROW. She is going to love your tag...will show her on the weekend.
I think your choice of stamp is perfect for this and popped the few forward really makes them catch your eye.
Adore the composition on your tag and how everything blends seemlessly.
