Week 42 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2017

Wow, I've only just realised that there are only ten weeks of this challenge left!  The year is passing so quickly.  The prompt for Week 42 is "A Country".

For my tag, I chose to go with the country "China".  I started with a background of red and yellow distress inks.  

I then used an assortment of Paper Artsy stamps from "Asian - Plate 2" and also a circle stamp set "SM15".  Once an image was stamped, I masked each section so that I was then able to fill the blanks with circles and dots with a stamp.  To those circles and dots, I added some small red gems.  I highlighted some areas with a white Signo pen adding some white dots to fill the background.

Finally, I dug out some small metal coin embellishments and stitched them to the base of the tag.

Don't forget, I would love to see your tags/art cards that relate to this challenge.  You can message me/post on The Crafting Niche Facebook Page with your images.
